South FL - Investor-Friendly Realtor with STR Experience
Hey guys! My name is Matthew Estes. I am currently exploring purchasing a vacation rental as a second home in Southern Florida, both as a vacation home as well as a short-term rental investment. I have experience investing within traditional long-term buy and hold, but this will be my first venture both with out-of-state and STR.
I wanted to see if anyone in this group had any realtors that they have had positive experiences with in the past that they would recommend?
Some specific markets I am looking at are:
Marathon, FL
Apollo Beach, FL
Tampa, FL
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Past experience working with investors would be ideal, and any short-term rental experience would be even better! Thanks for the help in advance!
Matt

@Account Closed may be able to help you out. He is an agent and investor himself in South Florida and has a much better pulse on that area and the STR rules in most of those cities you mentioned.
I have two STRs myself in the FL Panhandle area and could share my general experience as an STR owner (and manager since I manage myself from long-distance) if you're interested. There are many tools and systems that can help you automate your property and save you time/money. Willing to help if needed!
