As you evaluate options, focusing on realistic cash flow and local rules will help clarify what fits best. 

Of course, this works if it only fits your business plan strategy.

Starting out, the key is to stay focused on one strategy that fits your current bandwidth, whether it’s house hacking, turnkey rentals, or partnering on a project to learn the ropes.There’s a strong community here, and with your dedication, you’ll be applying what you learn in no time.

Quote from @Andrew Bertuglia: I've spent countless time looking to purchase a STR property in Florida and I can't seem to find anything that fits the numbers to get any sort of cash flow with 10-20% down!

And remember, commissions are always negotiable, so you can find an agent who understands your goals and works with you on terms that fit your needs.Hope this helps, and I would love to hear what you decide.Disclaimer: I am a licensed real estate broker associate in Florida, but I am not an attorney, CPA, or financial advisor.

Originally I was also hoping to find a package that would do more of the property management basics for me, like running ads, screening tenants, collecting rent, collecting e-signatures, etc.What I found after months of looking is that there is no one-size-fits-all platform out there.

STR friendly..04 Acre lot. 2,550 sq feet.Description:Master bedroom w/ walk-in closet, linen closet, huge bathroom w/ free standing tub, his/her's shower, his/her's sinks, private walk out deck with lighting.Spacious first floor w/ quartz countertops, 70 sq ft of cabinet space and brand new stainless steel appliances. 5 ton central ac/heat.In the backyard there's a deck that span's the length of the house and a small deck in the front.Paved driveway that can fit 4+ carsAll brand new construction.                                                                                                     

Guesty is more robust overall—especially for accounting, reporting, and integrations—so if financial tracking and scale matter, Guesty tends to be the better fit.

It’s not true frontage, but access is solid and surrounding uses are mostly neighborhood retail, entertainment, and service businesses.Zoning: Commercial / PD (flexible, but vague)I’m thinking through highest and best use for a site like this—especially uses that:Don’t rely heavily on street frontageBenefit from nearby retail activityBenefit from proximity to the highwayWork well on smaller infill parcelsEarly-stage ideas so far:Medical or service-based commercialSmall flex / light industrial / contractor-style spaceAppointment-based uses (fitness, childcare, training, etc.)Other creative infill concepts I may be overlookingWould love input on:Uses you’ve seen work well—or fail on similar rear-located commercial sites of this sizeWhat you’d underwrite first if this were your dealAppreciate any real-world examples, lessons learned, or contrarian takes.

If this results in limited movement, they are likely not a good fit for you to add them as a buyer.
