1. Get on OTA’s & see what’s in the area you’re interested in. Are there a lot of homes? What’s their ADR? How full are their calendars? Between the two markets, I’d pick Orlando, personally.
2. Self manage. Save your self 15-20+ percent on commissions. Ron's of resources out there to teach you how to self manage. BP has a STR bootcamp that will teach you everything you need to know.

Sounds good to me. As your reviews begin to grow you can slowly start bumping your pricing up too

Quote from @Brooklyn McCarty:
We have a property in Fort Morgan and love it. It’s very quiet and peaceful there. We bought our property with Avery Carl’s team/The Short Term Shop. I’d reach out to them and let them get you connected with Jonathon, their agent there. He’s wonderful and so knowledgeable about the area.

I would also use other data sources and then average them all out for a better estimate. Look at STR insights, pricelabs, rabbu, and the enemy method.

I would avoid this area. Especially as you said, there's so much negativity surrounding STR there. Look at true, regional, drivable vacation markets instead with established STR presence

Self manage all the way! Save yourself the commissions. BP has a book written by Aver Carl, Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth.
Has everything you need from start to finish about self managing. I self manage from 14 hours away. If I can do it, so can you.
