If I have one piece of advice it's buy in the best location you can afford.

There might be demand, but oversupply in certain areas, like Orlando, is pushing prices so low that it becomes impossible for some property owners to break even, let alone turn a profit.Agents promoting STRs as "good investments" without considering the current market saturation, high operating costs, and potential competition do a disservice to buyers.

If not, then 2 things come to mind:1) you should not give the impression you are associated with BiggerPockets.2) this is advertising/self-promotion that should be in the Classifieds...Thought I'd share that before a Moderator chimes in......My 2 cents,Mike

A lot of CPAs get hung up on “substantial services” piece which is a semi grey area but if you understand STR the judgement calls are a lot easier.

Unfortunately this seems to be the norm with many of the gurus and seminar/webinar promoters. 

I wouldnt' want to buy a 750k piece of land and then have no way to use it with this project. 

@Brandon Weis when it comes to PMCs, you'll find two main camps here on BP:1) Hardcore DIY landlords that think & promote EVERYONE should DIY manage. - Many are okay and actually understand DIY PM is not for everyone, but there are some that only have negative comments about PMCs.2) Owners & PMCs that promote hiring professionals.- Some PMC members are only here to promote themselves and don't offer much of value.

Booking Management- Calendar Updates: We review booking calendars regularly to ensure everything is accurate and to avoid double bookings.Tracking Occupancy: We monitor occupancy rates and adjust prices or run promotions as needed to fill any gaps.3.

It seems like you're promoting a program or something.

PM is a big piece, hopefully it rents quick and you can do it again
