Hey @Megan OConnor, I can't comment on the area specifically but it is doable.You need to search AirBNB and VRBO to get a look at the competition (don't forget to look at VRBO)You have to work into your plans the downturn during the off season.

When the housing market became seller friendly, I unloaded 5/6 of our long term rental units, paid off our house with that and invested in stocks and mutual funds…completely no fun, right??

I had been somewhat interested in short term furnished rentals (30 days or more) I looked into Homesuite.com then I called a few operators around me to feel out the competition. 

Quote from @Chris Magistrado: I'm doing my research and I came across wholesaler who said if the buyer is requesting an inspection, they aren't a real buyer, probably just a wholesaler trying to scope the competition or lock up your contract. 

Found on Zillow during a competitive time in the market.

My approach is to take a few minutes per quarter and make sure it is accurate by manually checking my true competition and adjustmenting prices accordingly. 

BP listing real estate friendly CPAs is a good idea though.

I am not friends with these sellers but these sellers know that I am the best there is at what I do. 

Here are some reasons to get the ball rolling:Thriving Market: Florida's population continues to boom, fueled by warm weather, a strong job market, and a business-friendly climate.

Especially in a more competitive market where the options are plentiful.
