Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking into rental strategies for a 3-bed, 2-bath house in Port Charlotte, FL, and wanted to share my research to get your feedback. With the recent market shifts (higher insurance rates, rising inventory, etc.), my friend has been unable to sell the property, but I’m wondering if there’s still a good opportunity to make it profitable.

Here are some options I’ve been considering:

🔹 Long-Term Rental (Unfurnished)

Monthly Rent: $1,900 – $2,500

Reliable income with minimal effort, but lower return compared to other strategies.

🔹 Long-Term Rental (Furnished)

Monthly Rent: $2,400 – $3,500+

Higher potential return, but requires upfront investment in furnishing the property.

🔹 Short-Term Rental – Entire Furnished House

Monthly Income: $3,000 – $6,000+

Depends on occupancy and seasonality. Potential for good returns, but requires time or a property manager.

🔹 Short-Term Rental – Rent by Room

Income per Room: $800 – $1,800+ per month.

Total Income (3 Rooms): $2,400 – $5,400+

Potential for higher income, but requires more active management.

Given the seasonal nature of Port Charlotte, I’m leaning toward a mixed strategy—renting private rooms during the high season and the entire house during the down season. This approach could help maximize occupancy and returns year-round, depending on market fluctuations.

What do you think of this approach? Does it make sense for Port Charlotte, or would you take a different route? Any experiences with similar strategies in a seasonal market?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Yes, that is what I believe to be the only route. I highly appreciate your input.

love it thanks alot :)

thaks appriciate it .

Hey my name is ofir anidjar,

At the end of 2019, I got my first rental to arbitrage into an Airbnb in Fort Lauderdale. It was great! In fact, I went from one to five properties using the same rental arbitrage model by 2022. I focused on shared-room "hostel-style" listings, which became my niche since that's my personal preference when traveling solo—it's the best way to meet people and get the most out of the experience.

By the time I got to the fifth property, I was stretched as thin as humanly possible. I made the critical mistake of depending solely on Airbnb. Once I got banned from the platform, everything started to spiral. Around the same time, I faced a serious health crisis that led to a liver transplant and ultimately bankruptcy.

Now, I’m ready to get back into the game—this time with all the hard lessons I’ve learned. I currently work as a remote leasing agent (W2) making close to $40K annually. I’m still in my first year, but I’m looking to relocate to either Texas or Tennessee because I love both states and the markets seem strong for arbitrage.

Given my bankruptcy in August 2022 and my short employment history, I know I won't qualify for a mortgage anytime soon. That said, I'm focused on lowering my DTI by renting a house to legally arbitrage again (with permits, as I did before), but without expanding into multiple units—just renting per room.

The reason I’m sharing all this is to ask:
Are there any creative financing options I could explore given my current situation?
