Think of it like learning to fly a plane, versus drive a car.  

I purchased my first STR in Kissimmee, FL. I

I was hoping it would fly under the radar!  

That's one of the reasons I fly out there a few times per year. 

Happy to fly down to meet and get dirty! 

A fruit tree doesn't add value to the rental market but it does add value when flipping.I had a tree filled with berries here in NYC and that was my flip property, it looked beautiful and made the backyard stand out as a selling point BUT it was a mess because birds would plucked them off and while they were flying off, they tend to drop a few on the driveway so yeah it was a everyday cleaning mess in the spring but I was selling the property so the new owners didn't need to know that.

As I learned my lessons a little, I will most certainly be flying or driving out of state to see and feel the area before I spend my money anywhere.

For the properties in FL, I have single member LLCs, manager managed.

The Grand Junction airport struggles to negotiate affordable airfares with carriers and is unable to bring in Southwest Airlines with their affordable flights, and yet Montrose figures it out, so what destination will more viable for tourists flying in and out of the west slope in 2021. 

I'm selling my interest in a contract" argument doesn't fly here.
