As a property manager in Savannah, GA who has been hosting these guests for longer than 7 years, I’ve spoken publicly many times on the lack of concern about guests becoming squatters.

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it? 

Analyzing and managing an industrial space will be different from retail, from multifamily, from office, etc.Maybe even more fundamental - what role do you want?

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

Which is why you need the advice and counsel of an experienced, and skilled pro - everyone with a law degree will not provide the same level of advice. 

If they’re open to living elsewhere, keeping the property as a short-term rental seems like the more profitable long-term play.If you’re enjoying the self-management and the demand remains strong, I’d lean toward keeping this property as an STR and exploring ways to add another.

Hi everyone, Currently working as a construction manager in Texas, always had ambitions of owning my own business.

It takes a lot of time.Do you think a NFL quarterback learns everything over a weekend when they are just getting started, and that is after they had been playing for 8 years at different levels. 

Who will manage it for you? 

I am actually an old fart, semi-retired managing my now small real estate portfolio of 16 doors.
