Hey Mohamed, congratulations on successfully renting out both units in your duplex!

Purchasing a property off-market can be a bit more complicated than a traditional purchase through a real estate agent, but it is definitely possible to do it successfully.

Some cities, recognizing this, have successfully implemented major events, such as the Formula 1 race in Miami, to boost tourism.June - Transitioning to mid-season, June surpasses May as the summer season begins, leading to higher occupancy rates, even though ANR is lower compared to previous months.July - Categorized as mid-season, July stands out due to 4th of July celebrations, resulting in some of the highest nightly rates during the summer months.August - Although August is generally good (mid-season), a slowdown occurs as the end of the month marks the return to school for kids, signaling the end of the summer season and the beginning of the low season.September - Consistently the worst month, September signifies the low season with lower occupancy and nightly rates.

I negotiated 70k of concessions.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

It would help to know your market and area of expertise.1) Pick an area to focus on and be an expert in2) Learn everything you can about that particular area of focus and become that expert3) Work on getting leads - This is probably your most important and overlooked area that will dictate your success. 

I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

STR success is understanding the nuances of the market, price drivers, and positioning in order to stay in demand.

You can negotiate a good deal right now, you can't negotiate stock price
