I’m excited to connect with fellow investors, share insights, and learn from your experiences.

Lastly, COC could be stronger with lower down payment..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for some investor focused mortgage support. 

In my mind, IRR seems to be the most relevant comparison, but I would love to hear other investor's thoughts. 

@Jarrett James you said other investors got together and split the cost.

I am a new investor in the Orlando area.

Some of them are going to be investors themselves. 

However, the other benefits of owning real estate are: - Taxes (depreciation/potential accelerated depreciation)- Appreciation (this is NOT always guaranteed, but over time, you will have appreciation)- Building equity (in this scenario, as long as rent is paid, you'll build about $140 monthly in equity)Please note some expenses that are missing from this are: - Management fees (8-10% on average, if applicable)- Estimated vacancy costs (2-3%)- Estimated repairs (5%)Disclaimer: I am a real estate investor and own four rental properties. 

I am meeting with an agent as well next week, but i think getting an input from other investors would be great as well.

Answering those questions is an excellent start to where an investor should purchase a STR!

That leaves me with being an out of state investor on the lookout for an extremely lucrative deal (I bet there are many of us here on this forum).
