To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

I worked more hours than possibly anyone I knew.If you do not want to work hard, then value adds may not be the best path for you.  

One thing I forgot to do was jack up the pricing to account for the 15% commission, but I've since corrected.

That is when they usually start to transition in to asset based options such as DSCR  For most, if the math is done correctly, the LO is licensed and know what they are doing , it is 10.

You are correct; it would be awkward having two different parties staying on the property. 

Correct me if I am wrong.TIA

Correct on hard money.

That is correct. 

This choice can influence the best path for you.

I'm correcting the misinformation you are posting and trying to get further clarification on what you are posting.
