Hi, I'm new to the FLA STR market, previously I self managed a 2 family unit in CT for 10yrs. I have a condo that I am leasing for a 3 month minimum in a nice small town a mile from the beach. I am looking for some best practices regarding the lease.

Do most STR require 30% down and final payment before the stay? Then all 3 of the following: security deposit, renters insurance and damage insurance? For most STR's, is an inspection checklist conducted? Do most STR tenants pay a departure cleaning fee? Do any STR tenants pay utilities?

Any guidance you can provide or suggestions to helpful material is greatly appreciated.   

 I treat it the same as a 1 week stay. They pay 100% up front.

 Thank so much for your responses, very helpful.

Hi Michael, Come join us at the bigger pockets meetup this Wednesday night in rocky hill at the wooden tap, starts at 7 pm with introductions at 7:30. We're in the back room or just ask the hostess for the investor meeting. Looking forward to meeting you. I'm looking for properties in Wallingford too. Best, Kathryn

Hi Alex,  Sounds like your doing great.  It's certainly a big learning curve but I know the experienced BP members will jump in with help and support.  I have a 2 family in Stratford and I'm looking for more.  It's great to connect with you.

Hi Jacqueline,

Sorry I can't make the meeting tonight.  Please put me on the invite list for the next meet up.

Best,

Kathryn
