I would be aware of the new legislation for Florida condos https://ssclawfirm.com/news-ev....  Florida is a great area but the new legislation along with insurance is becoming a point of concern. Good luck!!!!!!

Fire extinguisher, linens for sleeper sofa to include a blanket. I also take pics of all the inside of the cabinets, drawers, shelves, etc of our STRs, so if a guest asks if we have something specific, I can pull up the picture and let them know where it is (unless a guest took it in a previous stay). Good luck!

Connect with lenders who do financing with investors, hard money lenders, bridge loan lenders, etc. These lenders may have a network of investors looking for deals too. I attended a conference that focused on this type of financing, and it was a great opportunity to meet professionals that only focus on that space. Good luck!

Hi, I am an investor-friendly residential Realtor in Tampa. Our team is finding that we are meeting other investors seeking properties with 20+ door apartment buildings. I am looking to connect with a Tampa Commercial Agent. Thanks!

Suppose you have a good cleaner and handyman that takes some of the pain away. As far as correspondence, we are always on call. We have the Airbnb app installed and we are notified if a guest has a question/issue. It is all about the reviews, so responding quickly and dealing with problems promptly is essential. The STR space is becoming more competitive, so working on your SEO and keeping your reviews high and frequent is important. In this space, I see that to become successful, you will have to step up your game, which will result in more of your time.

Good luck!!!!!

I would also look at hostfinancial.com quick tool that pulls directly from airdna and rabbu calculator, these are both free and will provide some good data. I would also look at top-performing properties in the area that you are looking at. As the STR space becomes more competitive it is important to know what you need to do for the property to stand out. Good luck!!!!

The meetup was designed to build a community of like-minded people, motivated to crush it in real estate. We collaborate over beers, share knowledge, and network with those on a similar path while expanding our knowledge base together.

Not stuffy, zero sales pitch, and good vibes only.

July's Speaker is Hillsborough County Property Appraiser, Bob Henriquez  to discuss the current & projected state of the real estate market

@Pam Wils , you can normally check out production on Zillow or Realtor.com. If you joined your MLS you can check through that platform too. I would take a look at his social media and google him:)

If you are under contract and the appraisal came in high, that is a good day! An appraisal does not impact your contracted price. Congrats!
