Hey David, just depends on your appetite and schedule. If you're a busy guy and just want to put your money into something and start getting rent asap, a more turn key solution may work for you. If you have more time on your hands and want to get experience with a rehab or BRRRR situation which ultimately will get you more equity, then that is the way to go as long as you have the time, money, and energy. STR or not it does not matter, you can add value or go turn key no matter the rental type from 100 unit apartment building that is turn key to a value add storage facility.

Tampa only requires you to pay an annual business tax to the city and a "7 day minimum." It is a great place for a second home with nice weather and a booming economy.

Hey Flue, Tampa is very STR friendly and they perform quite well year round. If you purchase them cash, add some value, and rent out for a few years, you can build some nice equity while creating cash flow for yourself along the way.

Hey Travis, for a BRRRR an ADU conversion could definitely be a great idea, or find property zoned multi family, tearing down and building ground up will build you a lot of equity in St. Pete if you deliver a great product.
