Seminole for Example has a lot of great traffic and tons of spots to eat, drink, socialize for adults and kids.I know Cape Coral is picking up in terms of STR's with the complettion of the 7 Mile Island and more construction lately.

I still have to see what's happening with utilities, but right now it would cashflow anywhere from $150-$300 (depending on the loan type and DP we select) with a CoC ROI between 9.9%-10.8% (lower than some other options we're looking at, but it already has tenants...)Thoughts?
