I went from barely breaking even to walking away with a very comfortable profit.This experience taught me two critical lessons:Never give up when the situation looks bleak.

The most effective way to find a professional team to work with is to interview a few to find one that can work with your situation.

So here’s my situation.

There are many tax accountants on Bigger Pockets that can help you with your situation. 

Managing a property hours away can be challenging if any issues arise, but having a third-party property management company could help handle those situations and make things more manageable.I think you are in the right place to gain some insight on what would make you successful. 

I’m in a similar situation but plan to meter water and power with my own units that can be read.

again its just reminds me of that situation I have no clue as to how good these deals are or are not. 

@Jonathan Greene and @Nathan Gesner, you both illuded to sharing more about my current financial situation and background.

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.

Your feedback might also help guide others in similar situations.
