Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

Though in theory, cash flow $10k/mo with out really working sounds appealing.I feel like I will be 65 sooner than later and have zero retirement saved otherwise.

It's great to see the inventory is coming back there are a lot of options out there and I'm feeling excited!

If you have any more questions or need help with the financing of these projects feel free to DM me.

I’m based in Tampa and run Graystone Investment Group, focusing heavily on helping (out of state) investors find and manage properties here in Florida.Totally agree on the importance of understanding those short-term rental rules in Florida—each area can feel like its own little country with all the different regulations!
