Prospective buyers and future condo sellers.What you can do:If you're currently an owner, make sure your HOA is buying insurance policies to meet financing guidelines, and budgeting to enable the highest number of buyers to obtain financing for any condo sales in your association. 

That's not 100% foolproof, but it helps.Whatever lock you choose, it should obviously be Wi-Fi-enabled and connect to the booking channels or PMS you use to generate unique guest codes; that's a given. 

Hi, I really want to buy a house for long term rentals to supplement our income for retirement.

The supplemental tax bill provided by county divided the price as below (Land: 600K, Improvements: 400K).

Below is a comparison of the two states you mentioned and Nevada.StateAverage Insurance Cost (Yr)Average Property Tax RateFlorida$10,9960.91%Texas$2,3171.68%Nevada$965.59%Sources:State average property tax source.Average insurance source.Florida's average insurance cost sourceTo put the operating costs in perspective, below are the approximate annual operating costs for a $400,000 property.StateInsurance (Yr)Property TaxTotalFlorida$10,996$3,640$14,636Texas$2,317$6,720$9,037Nevada$965$2,360$3,325The difference is significant.Florida requires about $11,311 more per year, or $943 per month, compared to Nevada.Texas requires about $5,712 more per year, or $476 per month.That higher operating costs must come from higher rent or out of your pocket.My RecommendationDefine your long-term financial goal.Select a city that enables that goal.Identify a tenant segment who stays many years and pays the rent on schedule.Determine what and where they currently rent.Buy similar properties.This process removes guesswork and focuses on building reliable, long-term income.

So this isn't purely a numbers play for me, there's a lifestyle component to it as well.The bigger picture goal is to use STR income to first supplement my full time job, and eventually replace it altogether.

Switching to Flexible and enabling free pets on A and C got 11 bookings each, while the ones you left on Strict got basically nothing.

A slightly smaller living room that enables an extra bedroom or better bath access will usually outperform in both occupancy and nightly rate over time.The compounding effect is real too.

It all ties into the broader RWA narrative, similar to what Ondo Finance is doing on the financial side, where the real value is less about individual deals and more about owning the infrastructure that enables them.My honest take is tokenization is real, the trend is real, even institutions are leaning into it, but real estate specifically is still early because liquidity is still weak (tokens mostly trade inside their own platforms), legal ownership still sits off-chain (LLCs, SPVs, etc.), most deals are still retail-sized, not true institutional flow.
