What's important - the demand for STR went up well before the first kick and stayed high for a whole Summer.Why  should Miami be different?

I'm new to the industry and looking to invest in small multifamily homes in Miami (2-4 units) with the goal of renting out the units long terms.

Purchase price: $390,000 Cash invested: $87,000 Located in the vibrant and rapidly appreciating neighborhood of West Little River in Miami, FL, this single-family residence presents an exceptional fix-and-flip opportunity.

Rangely,I agree I am in Florida as well and have an office in Miami and Tampa.

This will be my first flip under my own name, and I’m excited to make it happen.I’ve got a great deal lined up in Miami, FL, in a strong neighborhood with solid comps and demand.Here are the numbers:Purchase Price: $699kRehab Estimate: $150KARV: $1.1M–$1.25M (conservative)Comps:House 3 blocks away (1,888 sqft) sold for $1.25MAnother ~2 blocks out (1,752 sqft) sold for $1.19MOne about 3 blocks away (1,314 sqft) sold for $1.1MMine is 2,032 sqft — larger than all of them.My question is: Can I realistically get this funded?

Pulled these from Zillow’s rental feed for May 2025 and cleaned them up so we can see which markets are heating up or cooling off.Quick takeawaysMost expensive rents: Boston & Miami hit ~$3,000; NYC right behind at $2,885.Fastest to lease: Cheyenne (24 DOM), Salt Lake City (28), Providence & Milwaukee (34).Slowest: Hawaii statewide (97 DOM), Dallas (77), Atlanta (71), San Francisco (70).Biggest MoM improvement: Raleigh -44 % DOM, Boston -38 %, Cheyenne -27 %.Largest inventory jumps: Los Angeles (+4,535 listings MoM), Chicago (+2,344), Houston (+1,696).Snapshot of key metrosCityAvg RentAvg DOMMoM DOM ΔActive RentalsMoM Inventory ΔPhoenix, AZ$1,85047+2 %5,052+1,005Denver, CO$1,92041-5 %3,924+614Miami, FL$3,00050-2 %6,534+1,024Orlando, FL$1,90242-11 %3,208+569Atlanta, GA$1,90071-9 %4,081+637Charlotte, NC$1,93546-22 %3,574+456Raleigh, NC$1,75045-44 %1,976+399Austin, TX$1,89448-16 %5,879+1,066Dallas, TX$1,60077-5 %3,782+1,065Houston, TX$1,69556-2 %8,823+1,696Seattle, WA$1,80047-15 %4,071+819Los Angeles, CA$2,30055+6 %20,265+4,535San Francisco, CA$2,65570-26 %2,783+580Boston, MA$3,00056-38 %17,529-275Cheyenne, WY$1,50024-27 %181-5(I trimmed the full dataset for readability — happy to share the whole CSV if anyone wants to dig deeper.)Questions for you:-Do these days-on-market (DOM) numbers line up with what you’re seeing on the ground?

It’s a big upgrade from baseboard heat and gives you both efficient heating and cooling.

Good afternoon fellow investors.Let me begin with the disclaimer that my rental unit is located in an area of Miami, FL where the expectations of having a 3 month's rent in a bank account is not realistic for new tenants.

Based out of Miami here, but also looking to connect with professionals in Charlotte and surrounding areas!
