There is a processing fee if you choose the credit card option, but a direct ACH has no additional charges.

Florida, particularly Tampa and Central Florida, is a strong option because of steady demand, landlord-friendly laws, and solid appreciation.If you’re debating between short-term and long-term rentals, I’d say long-term rentals are more stable, especially with the recent saturation of Airbnbs.

Fatal mistake to buy that on the forward curve.My recommendation would be to get out of this position; the STR is in an extremely oversaturated market and the underlying asset is a clone of many.

any suggestions on how I should compare these 2 options?

It’s inexpensive to provide but can make a big impact.Comfortable Bedding: Investing in high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens improves the guest experience and leads to better reviews, which can boost occupancy rates.Smart TV or Streaming Services: Offering Netflix, Hulu, or similar services is a low-cost way to enhance guest entertainment and stay competitive.Fully Stocked Kitchen: A well-equipped kitchen with basic appliances and utensils appeals to families and long-term guests, saving them money on dining out.Dedicated Workspace: If your property caters to remote workers, adding a small desk and ergonomic chair can set your listing apart.Outdoor Spaces: If your property allows, an outdoor seating area, fire pit, or hot tub can significantly increase your nightly rate and attract more bookings.Energy-Efficient Features: Guests appreciate eco-friendly options like LED lighting, smart thermostats, or solar panels, especially in eco-conscious markets.Keyless Entry: A smart lock is a relatively small investment but offers convenience and security, which many guests value.If you’re deciding on amenities to add, it’s always a good idea to research your local market.

@Surya S KumaresanYou're in a great position to grow your real estate portfolio in Atlanta, a market with strong appreciation and rental demand.

I don’t see where a rental would make sense, so I’m trying to look at other options to cover the monthly payments until the market goes back up.  

I have 3 windows as well that don't stay in the open position that I have to replace.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

I plan to speak to my broker and it's probably a question for their lawyers, just wanting to check all my options before I choose a route
