Seeking Real Estate Agents Experienced in Florida STR

Anyone have contact with experienced real estate agents in St. Petersburg or Clearwater Florida? We are interested in securing long term leases on quality properties in Florida so we can furnish them and put them on the STR market (with terms written in the long term lease allowing this). Would love to hear stories from anyone having success in the area.

    Hey Jordan I'm a realtor in South Florida at the Keyes company if you'd like I can refer you to one of my partners in St. Pete. I actually just got back from an Airbnb vacation from there. It's a beautiful area with incredible STR potential.

    So many choices but @Matt "Roar" Gardner is the one. He has multiple multi family investments throughout the south and runs a syndication. He knows his stuff so you can definitely get some value from talking to him.

    Hi Jordan! I am looking for the same thing and will keep you posted if I get any good recommendations. My husband and I are from St Pete (currently in Utah) and are moving back next June! Clearwater / Indian Rocks Beach are quite a bit more flexible in STR regulations from what I can research online and get back from the city but St Pete really is the star of the show in that area in my opinion. Would love to connect on these!

    What part of Utah? We should connect! I'm originally from SLC, UT but moved to the Tampa Bay area (Clearwater) for the real estate investing opportunities. I actually quit my W-2 Career (engineer) not too long ago and went full time (instead of just part time) as a realtor. I work with a lot of investors and mainly on STRs and house-hacks here in the Greater Tampa Bay area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, etc). I actually close on 2 more this month with clients and am renovating mine right now to throw up on the market as an STR come September. I also do house-hacks and general LTR investing as well and can help no only locating properties but analyzing them, getting you set up with PM, amenities list, and local vendors (handymen, cleaners, etc).

    Hi Josh!! I live in Salt Lake City, UT right now - we rent in Sugarhouse and absolutely love the area. I am however quite excited to get back to St Pete. I am so happy we can connect! I am looking to house-hack when we move down with an STR in the back and continue to expand my portfolio in STR's and Section 8 Housing. A nice ying and yang in my opinion. I am going to send you a message now

    Hey Jordan and all, I'm new to the St. Pete market, have some experience with AirBnB and looking to do some more STR in St Pete as my wife and I pursue a career transition. Been doing so research, asking around and still learning. It seems as if you're playing by the rules, St Pete and surrounding areas are extremely restrictive. However my understanding is that it comes more down to the specific regulations in the specific zoning district within your municipality, if there is a display requirement for your rental licensure, if the area enforces its rules and if it allows a certain number of STR's for less days than the general requirement (many allow 3 stays less than 30 days, etc.), and finally quite simply your neighbors take issue or not. Here are two sites with good summaries by municipality. Good luck!

    @Jordan Baratono - I own an STR company and have done as well as managed arbitrages before. Please make sure you do all of you due diligence as it is risky but not impossible. Feel free to shoot me a DM with any questions
