@Daniel Hartz, I would just refinance this as a rate/term refinance and get out of the bridge loan asap. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi @Craig Daniels, thanks for posting on the forums. You'll find that it's hard to truly cash flow with a fully turnkey purchase here in Florida. What's your price point? I know of a few investors in the local central/south Florida area that are having success with investing in long term rentals depending on your strategy!

@Kiley Costa I'm sorry to hear that you're having a tough time with your first STR. If you're ever looking to invest in Florida, @Josh Green has a successful STR operations going on in the Tampa Bay Area that is providing his clients with solid returns year round. There’s actually quite a few investors from California making purchases over here.

@Ricky Reddin, welcome to the forums! There are a few ways you can handle the renovation which all comes to personal preference. You can use your own funds, use a HELOC or do a cash out refinance to cover the costs. How much is your house worth and how much do you owe?

@Jose Mejia I assume this property was purchased under an LLC. How long have you owned this property?
