If you have a small park and don’t plan to buy anymore you could look at appfolio as another alternative that charges by the unit.

Alternatively, you can ask for first and 2 months rent for the security deposit.

That leaves you with alternative financing like a hard money loan and that is going to cost you more than the extra funds may be worth to you.

Also, the proximity to Busch gardens makes it very attractive for your next tenant.Number two is Tampa Heights, south of the university and slightly north of downtown; this old neighborhood of Tampa Heights is attracting more people than ever.

So if you already have a buyer ready, you'll generally never have a problem.and I 100% agree with @Jay Hinrichs, just adding the above statements to the rest of the comments.Thanks for the tip I was given another that says it’s water to get the home and buyers are attracted but I think this method is easier!

I can recommend a bank I used that had very attractive rate and terms recently.

I'm curious to hear if you found any alternatives?

We choose this particular one because the neighborhood is perfectly set up for it & already had existing STR's in it, the layout & size were ideal & the private pool is not just out your living room door but is actually private as no one is behind us & the sides are walled off which we thought the additional privacy would make it more attractive.

The home was purchased from a flipper who fixed up most of the house and made this 1963 home look modern and attractive, especially to younger renters.

Preferably, at least two of these will be STRs in a vacation destination where we can build a proof of concept, get our processes setup for managing from a distance, and then attract other investors with capital to share in the proceeds of future deals.Financially, we should be ready to pull the trigger on our next property around February/March.
