Quote from @Bryce Powers: Hello,I work several jobs in Florida and also own a rental property here.

When picking a market, look for places with good rent-to-price ratios and stable job growth.

Somewhere with low supply and high demand, population growth, a diverse and robust job market (even better if there are a lot of recession-proof jobs such as in government, education, etc as opposed to boom and bust jobs like energy and tech), high appreciation of both values and rent, desirability (somewhere people choose to live, not cheap locations where people live because it’s all they can afford but don’t really choose to live), and ideally within 20-30 minutes of where you live, but up to an hour away is acceptable if you’re just getting started, or farther if you know the location on a house by house level and have personal connections there.

@Gregory Schwartz I mentioned in another post about ChatGPT that my wife's job is training AI so I have a bit better than average insight into what it can and can not do at present.Her summary is that AI should not be be trusted for legal or tax advice at all and you can't rely on it for things like market value, rent, reno or landlord cost estimates.However, AI is great for giving you ideas for marketing messages, cleaning up email replies, creating a social media posting schedule.

One may make you feel good, but the other is likely to look better to others guests.Recognize not every review will be 5 stars but if you do a good job caring for the guests, there will be plenty of 5 star reviews to counter the less than 5 star reviews.In 26 years of operating STRs, we have seen plenty of unwarranted less than highest rating reviews.Do not let it bother you (or have someone manage them for you like I do as I would have said I cannot provide parking to accommodate lame drivers 😀).Good luck
