But, in a market where short-term rentals in areas like Tampa Bay are on the rise... and I mean, last time I chatted with an investor-focused agent down there, she mentioned neighborhoods around St.

Most HOAs do allow rentals but you may need to obtain a rental permit or adhear to certain lease provisions.Feel free to PM me if you have any questions - would be happy to chat / give guidance

-when figuring rules of thumb regarding payroll cost per employee/position or things like repairs and maintenance cost, contract services, etc. per door in a specific market do yall suggest contacting a property manager to find out these numbers or actually using google or job listings etc. i thought about using chat GPT as well. any thoughts on this?

Happy to chat more, Im outta CT. 

If you'd like, I’d be happy to connect and chat about how to use marketing to expand your network and grow your STR business.

Would love to have a chat about your specific situation to see if I can help be of service to you or point you in the right direction!

Jay stated it well, find the right lender to chat with.

You can find education, deals, and forums with many investors who have participated in those deals to chat with.

Their new online system is really confusing, and I have had to call customer support for help each time I needed to wire/ACH funds because I could never figure it out on my own (and their customer service chat box isn't set up yet). 

Hope to chat more soon.
