Hello All -My hub of properties is in Tampa but I do have some managed further South and my vendors are not as strong with less market presence in Fort Myers and Naples. 

You can find different strategies on how to find and reach these folks, such as driving for dollars, targeting mailing lists, networking with Realtors and other wholesalers, and having an online presence, plus paid social media ads, etc.

I've been an STR host for 2 years for my 2 STRs,  I want to do this for 2 or 3 more years and build up as many cabin clusters (starting with the 10 I'll own this spring) and maybe additional SFH, as much of a direct booking presence as possible and as much goodwill in the OTA listings, then either sell it all to someone or hire someone to operate the entirety.

While there is good reason for the frustration caused by the delay in this project, last night, proof was provided that the project is moving forward in form of the presence of a successful and powerful local company joining the project.

Or when syndication is struggling like it is move into the training business.there is huge money leveraging your on line popularity where folks will have an irrational opinion of someones bona fides based on SM media presence etc.
