Real Estate is the long game, not the get rich quick theme we hear on social media. 

Real estate is a long game and waiting is the hardest part. 

Hey @Scott Meech - Check out your competition with furnished finder that is where a lot of Medium Turn rentals list their properties.I have a MTR in Chicago that has been decently successful...whatever I have found throughout my entire life and investing career is it is never one property/deal that is a grand slam...Rather, the grand slam is done by hitting many singles and using systems and processes to scale your operation; the combination of scaling and experience in a niche of real estate allows you to hit unlimited grand slams because, unlike baseball, real estate is NOT a zero-sum game.

This is part of the game.

Assuming the property owner isn't playing games, why would an independent appraiser inflate the value? 

I've been in the real estate game for over 20 years and have done my fair share of transactions, including condos and multifamily properties.

Real estate is building wealth via the long game.

Buyers are out there, and with fewer investors jumping in due to concerns, there's less competition snagging those good deals.If you're considering moving forward, connecting with someone who knows the Tampa scene inside and out could be a game-changer.

They are playing numbers game.

There are a lot of owners that have great purchase prices and 3 to 4% Interest rates that bought 5, 10 or more years ago.If you want to jump into the STR market game now in competitive markets you better run your numbers conservatively and you need an appealing location and property to be competitive.
