Andrew, is there much of a STR market in Florida beach cities in the downtown areas where restaurants, bars, and shopping are?

They are all in the downtown.

I currently have one Arbitrage STR property in Raleigh, North Carolina close to Downtown and it has performed very well.

Sale price: $336,000 I bought a 135 year old home in down-town Conway, SC with the intention to live in it while we fixed it up, and rent it out as a STR once it was ready.

My wife and I bought a 135 year old home in down-town Conway, SC with the intention to live in it while we fixed it up, and rent it out as a STR once it was ready.

But with 09-11, when the twin towers came trembling down, people were looking all over for commercial spaces and my dad rented a store to a wholesale travel agency, located in midtown Manhattan, that got displaced when downtown Manhattan tenants all started looking for space.With malls emptying out, I don't know how soon it will impact neighborhood stores.

I've had a lot of properties that come across for investors west and SW of downtown Birmingham, but have not had any pull the trigger.

Ever since the money has been invested in Milwaukee from our new stadium, Fiserv Forum being built, to Northwestern Mutual expanding their headquarters downtown.

For fact of the shift in downtown, and the numerous "changes" that have occurred in recent years.

I own some in Southwest Baltimore (near downtown) and they can be very high maintenance at times.
