There are many factors to consider, I drop some here: 1) being new, need to build your reputation and have no repeating customers2) Miami has had an overflow of STRs buildings and "illegal" inventory: investors who bought new condos allowing STR with loans to pay, tend to lower the price to get bookings.

It is good practice in assessing STR potential and performance by combining personal research and rental experiences (rates and dates) with at least one local reputable Property Management company rental revenue estimate. 

Reputation Most lenders that I work with have excellent and honest reviews on Google.

Find a reputable mastermind group, go to meet ups and connect with experienced operators.

The lawyer looses all reputation.  

If this is seen as advertising or not allowed, sorry in advance, but I haven't seen a real life 0% down payment in quite a while, and Navy Federal is reputable, so thought those of you starting out would benefit from knowing there is actually one out there.

You could be buying a small manufacturer, or a retail store.  

Out-of-state investors, do you recommend a reputable online source that provides crime rates and other demographic information of cities/zipcodes?

Does anyone happen to know if there is anyone that can help or at least guide me to a person, place or thing lol that would have reputable training.

Has anyone had any experience with this company or can share insights into their reputation?
