I'm ending off this week on a high as my team just placed a family who was displaced due to a flood into one of our Radiate Real Estate branded homes. 

Bankrupt brand names, Broadway shows, crypto investments.  

Welcome to the forum @Chris Primavera.Seeing as you are brand new today, it would be good for you to search on the forum for those areas and read everything there is about those markets.Grab @Avery Carls book Short Term Rentals Long Term Wealth and read it. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-l...It is chock full of info that you need.

I'm originally from BR and still invest heavily and lend there. 

One way to do this is with brand new construction.

I tend to find my own properties and deal with the realtors directly but having a realtor if you are brand new to the area, is helpful. 

New construction is also a solid option because everything’s brand new, and you’re less likely to run into issues with maintenance early on.As for research, I’d focus on the local economy and rental demand.

Quote from @Himateja Madala: Hey folks,I am brand new to STR's and am here looking for suggestions around STR in Kissimmee area.

It's even better than some other brands.

If that makes more sense though by all means I’m open as I am brand new to this game.
