The market's pretty packed these days, and prices are getting pumped up with all the short-term rental hype.I've snagged a few spots in Ybor at half off during a sale, fixed them up, and they've been solid on Airbnb and VRBO, even as corporate rentals, for the last three years.

I have had 2 listings on Booking.com for the last 3 months.
