I didn't make any renovations as the property was already in good condition.

Have you considered specific local market conditions?

On the other hand, a hot tub might cost more but could yield a higher ROI in competitive or high-demand markets.Data-Driven Insights: I also use tools like AirDNA or PriceLabs to analyze local trends.

Daniel,If its something you really like from all accounts, get with an inspector and property manager to give their thoughts on the area, condition of the property etc...

I can't speak for the city itself / near the university, but up in areas like Liverpool properties are getting multiple bids regardless of the condition.

They assured me all they needed was for the power company to come hook up the power so they can get the HVAC technician in to ensure the HVAC system was good then they can do the finishing touches while the house has Air conditioning and power.  

Encore, you would need a membership, if you purchase in the new phase (Spectrum ) they automatically come with the amenities (membership) included to your guests, but the HOA and management have other restrictions and all units come furnished with the same packages, so you can't make changes to have it stand out, which is what is really needed hear in Orlando since there is so much competition. 

I looked at somewhere between 150 and 200 deals before getting my first deal and that was at a time when market conditions weren't as tough as they are now. 

I believe that while it is a buyers market and renters market right now, these conditions will change within 5 years, because: - The long-term fundamentals that drive people to migrate to Florida remain unchanged, and a steady influx is a reasonable expectation. - Supply will abate. 2026 and 2027 will see less than half the deliveries nationwide of of 2024 and 2025, respectively, and I bet that is even more extreme in a market like Tampa.
