Was like most people who get into STR deals, wanted higher return.

Personally, I think the taxes are high and the services you get for your taxes low there.I know people that invest in Detroit but you must know the area down to the street and have excellent property management.However, I just talked to my CPA today about a referral he was sending me who is a client of his that has 30 rental properties in Detroit and selling them all because the City doesn't really help, charges for everything, and they never have given a security deposit back to a tenant after they stayed because of their behavior or lack of payment.

They are the leading agents in the Tampa Bay Area that have a proven track record of taking great care of their clients.

It's nice to find a place where people get jacked up about cashing in early retirement funds rather than call you crazy!

Are any of these, or other areas you have thought of, areas close to those places or those people?
