I have stayed 80% booked in the winter and 100% booked in 2024.

I would just try to stay away from some of high crime areas, as I think you would struggle to get a solid local team excited about working in those areas.

If they do not, price will stay the same or go down some.

@Alexander Rodriguez its on the tenant but one fix is to  make the fan stay on by making sure it goes on with the light or a sensor. 

If you want to capture additional short-term gains... probably best to just stay the course you are on. 

@Abby Flynna few random thoughts-definitely stay local (for now) - you have a lot of great markets within a couple hours of where you are-it's very difficult to 'start' with a flip - flips take capital and you're going up against all the professional flippers who flip as a business-go to all the local REIA meetings within a 1-2 hour radius - find the ones you like - go to those regularly-call lenders and discuss loan options. 

Every state and county are different, but once folks stay in a residence for 30 days or more, they will have certain rights that could prove cumbersome.

is there like a step by step guide on investing in short term vacation home in Florida?

As well as that, property taxes in Cincinnati can stay low if you have a property that was recently remodeled and they are low in Ky as well.

I encourage you to get involved, ask questions, be open to feedback, and allow other seasoned investors to help guide you along your journey of Real Estate Investing.Best of Luck!
