    West Palm Beach can be a good STR market, but I'd verify the local short-term rental rules and cash-flow numbers before getting too deep into a property.

    For a first out-of-state STR, I'd focus on building the right local team first:

    • STR-friendly agent
    • lender familiar with STR/DSCR loans
    • property manager/co-host
    • cleaner/maintenance contact
    • insurance agent

    Also check whether the property qualifies for STR use before writing offers. Financing, insurance, HOA rules, and local ordinances can all affect the deal.

    West Palm can definitely work for STRs if you buy in the right pocket and stay very conservative on insurance, taxes, seasonality, and local regulations. A lot of first-time out-of-state investors underestimate how important the local team is, especially with STR management and turnovers. The biggest thing is finding people who actually understand investor numbers instead of just selling vacation properties. Some investors also balance higher-appreciation coastal markets with Midwest cash-flow rentals so they’re not relying entirely on STR performance and tourism cycles.
