Quote from @Devin James: When running numbers on an investment property, I focus more on equity growth than monthly cash flow.Here’s why:If I can acquire a property at a low basis and add significant value, I can: 1) Sell and reinvest elsewhere 2) Cash-out refinance to recapture my investment.

It’s simple, people who spend good money on the home of their dreams don’t want STR’s next door to them.  

@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units.

Otherwise they just run around and bid projects for people that don't close.

Quote from @Amol Kulkarni: Any individual PM (not associated with companies) who can handle 3 doors in Jax and Citrus Springs, fL I own a lot of properties in Jax and have a management company.

I wanted to see what these guys were up to, so I pulled up in front of a house where it was parked, on Arquilla Dr, got out and knocked on the door.

I use National Tenant Network to run a tenant score and recommendation.

There are many communities within each of these areas that run or allow nightly rental programs. 

It's nothing like fancy pants hanging around kitchen stores picking out just the right cabinet door and handle pulls.

If I have the time after dinner to run to Lowe’s , and deliver material at 10pm, I didn’t have to ask if that’s ok.
