I’ve been investing in the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years, with around 30 rentals myself, and it’s always inspiring to see folks like you diving in with such focus on cash flow.It’s amazing how buy & hold can really shift your lifestyle—I actually started out similar to you and eventually left my day job to focus on real estate full-time.

@Sarah Taylor From a tax perspective, you would lose the STR tax benefit if you expect paper losses from the property.

@Jack SeidenThank you for the realistic advice, it’s really helpful to get an honest perspective.

I'm looking forward to shifting my portfolio in the future to longer term tenants. 

Thanks again for your perspective—it’s guiding me toward a more refined approach!

Our project has been pushed out quite a bit, but as far as I can tell all for legitimate reasons with permitting delays and market shifts.

We manage several 'hybrid' properties in Indianapolis, where many function as STRs for the majority of the year and shift to MTRs during the winter months.

Wishing you much success on your upcoming flips and your shift into rentals.Best regards,

Thanks BP Community,CameronI’m currently living in a live-in-flip property that was seller financed, really useful when you max out your DTI from a lenders perspective.
