Hi there! I’m a local short-term rental operator here in South Florida, so happy to chime in:

• Neighborhoods: Popular STR areas in Fort Lauderdale include Las Olas, Victoria Park, and areas near the beach. Each has different price points and guest appeal, so it depends on whether you want higher ADRs or steadier occupancy.

• Regulations: The City of Fort Lauderdale requires short-term rental licensing, inspections, and compliance with safety rules. Broward County also requires a tourist tax registration. Check the city’s Short-Term Rental Program page for details.

• Seasonality: Peak season is December through April (snowbird and holiday traffic). Summer and fall are slower, so pricing and marketing strategies matter.

If you’d like, I’m happy to share more specifics about compliance, management, or running STRs here in Fort Lauderdale—just let me know.

I just came back from vacation there, and apparently there are no house numbers. They do not have mail. They go by a street name and then what the house looks like and what's around it

I live and manage STRs in Miami. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

 Thanks Joel! What's the title of your book and where can I find it? Right now I am just learning about it and seeing what my options are. I would consider partnerships in the future.

I am considering getting into some commercial investments and think I want to go down the NNN route. Are there any books or resources you can recommend to get me started with the basics?

Both tools go hand and hand with each other, they actually integrate with one another. Intellihost gathers data of the area and similar listings and will automatically adjust pricing for you in PriceLabs. So, essentially it takes out a lot of the guessing and constantly looking at your competition to get you more bookings. The A/B testing aspect syncs directly with your AirBnb listing. Once you make a change in AirBnb it automatically tracks that change in Intellihost. It will tell you if that change increased/decreased clicks & First Page Impressions & Booking Rate overtime. 

Hey Luis, I live in Brickell very close to this property and also manage properties in South Florida. 

Does your family member leverage a dynamic pricing tool like PriceLabs? If so, are they regularly making changes and optimizing within the tool? I also leverage a tool called Intellihost which helps with pricing strategy and conduct A/B Testing with listing changes.

The listing description seems to be just a paragraph. I would segment it into bullet points highlighting the unit and amenities of the building. Highlight local attractions as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need help!

When it comes to finding the perfect property to manage/co-host, what’s on your must-have list?
