Post: STR current home or buy one?

Quote from @Jarod Rotolo:

Hey everyone, I've recently been able to position myself to consider getting into STRs.

The decision I'm trying to make is, do I:

A) update, furnish, and STR my current home on the panhandle within 10 mins of Pensacola and Navarre beaches, thinking it will cost 20k to update.

OR,

B) start analyzing properties in various markets to purchase a property for STR?

Not sure what the right choice is, how would you make the determination?

Thanks


 Hey Jarod,

I'd say stabilize the one that you've got then hop over to a new house with an owner-occupied loan to max out your leverage.

Investing in what you have now will compound to help you out in the long run!

Hey Breanne,

Not sure how helpful this is but in Washington you're allowed to show properties for lease (different from for sale) as an unlicensed individual as long as someone with a license does the paperwork for the lease.

Most states require that you have a real estate license to manage rental property unless you are self-managing. In the case of self-management you may need a licensed assistant to show the units if you are unlicensed so that there's some agency representation in the agreement.

Best of luck!
