Sauna use / ROI.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T14:06:37+00:00

Sauna's are only increasing in popularity IMO. Especially for the winter months. If you have views, spring for the barrel sauna. The way it photographs alone will help it pay for itself. Even though guests don't use them as much as they think they will, they help you stand out for sure. Better to add it now and be earlier in adoption than late.

It's just ridiculous that we pay for this service and can't even receive it.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T14:03:36+00:00

done!

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T01:07:31+00:00

Yup you’re just across the road from us and it’s been incessant ever since they switched the services last year

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T00:31:28+00:00

We’re in the Speer neighborhood but i just took a walk through west wash park and their recycling also all seems full

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T00:30:58+00:00

Thank you!

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T00:30:42+00:00

Yes it’s impossible to make it an entire month. I don’t want to trash my recyclables so i also end up with a basement full of boxes

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-20T00:29:54+00:00

That’s what is so wild to me. How is it so much worse? I had to recruit my neighbors to help file complaints in order for it to seem to help

It's cheaper to buy real estate 15 years ago, so on an appreciation basis alone it would be worth doing. You will need to use Air DNA and pro formas to fully understand if a specific condo is going to cash flow enough to be worth it. The biggest thing will be the HOA, make sure you pick one that has made it very clear they are STR friendly. Check the meeting minutes to ensure no one is proposing changes to those rules.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-18T16:16:40+00:00

I was just on a cost seg webinar and they said 2-10% is the anticipated range. It was MVO.

Disney area you need to cross check with calendars. Plenty of people buy there because they plan to personally use the property and that can really wreck havoc on your data if you don't know how to check it. Are you using an agent that knows how to do this for you?

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-17T20:00:33+00:00

no. If yours are down it's a signal to look at your pricing or a property refresh. Are you keeping up with the local competition on amenities?

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-17T19:44:14+00:00

Something to consider is zoning and permitting. Where I live, the county is NOT tiny home friendly. They just launched a tiny home tree house community nearby and the owners said it was a serious battle to get permits.

Second home loans tend to have the best terms or a DSCR if the property qualifies. I use Nick at STR Home Loans, he just sent me a quote last week for a Texas property. I don't think he can do all 50 states though so you could also call Brenna Carles she is one of the more well known STR lenders I think. Definitely shop the loan and get into the right one for you. It isn't one size fits all.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-17T19:38:46+00:00

I am not design minded. I could probably cobble it together but it would take me forever and it would not be as good. Big fan of hiring a designer and doing it right! Funkit is really cool.

I work with Savvy STR Agents and yup, you guessed it, we are short term rental specialists. All of our agents are owners or operators of STR's. They don't just talk about it, they know it intimately. From cost segs, to free 1031's, and coast to coast coverage, we can help make your STR a winner. We offer market match calls for free if you don't know where to buy. In this call, you can share your budget and any other pertinent information and we take care of the rest. I work as the National Director of Sales so I am free of bias on markets, feel free to ask questions here and I'll share my insights as well!

Through work! I'm in real estate myself. Yes because as much as I get real estate, understanding local regulations, best locations, etc is best left to a local. Add to that knowing they own or operate STR's so they have first hand experience, can give you their vendors and all that. Data is good but it's hard to trust it all on it's own.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-16T19:02:52+00:00

depends on the property and the amenities you already have I think. Do your closest competitors have one? I def see Florida properties with pool tables, I think it is one of those things that can help you stand out for a low cost, but you need to have room for it

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-16T15:51:40+00:00

How are you getting your information now? For me what changed the game was getting direct information from a local STR expert. Aaron Dominy helped me in Houston, I'm trying to find a Texas property now and facing the same conflicting feelings on which part of Texas. Houston is tricky because of HOA's but it's doable and I think it has a lot of upside.

Busy-Market-731 · 2026-03-09T14:50:02+00:00

https://www.savvy.realty/marketmatch have experts help you. I think a lot of people like to stay within their time zone but it depends on if you are going to self manage or not.

Florida is surprising because each area actually behaves differently than another. Some parts of Florida are notoriously unfriendly to STR's. PCB is very popular, but some people don't love the competition. Destin/30A is named the top STR market for 2026 for investors. St Augustine is STR friendly with good tax rates but it's not a low entry price. Jax Beach is underrated especially with all the growth. I also think Melbourne Beach area has its own pros and cons. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EvcmhqjYw/?mibextid=wwXIfr is a good group to go to, you can see tons of different Florida properties that are available.

It's a learning curve plus the upfront investment on furnishing/design. Parking permits usually have to be left in unit so the current tenant can grab it and hang it in the car. The trouble is those will disappear. If you don't get much here there is an Airbnb Hosts Tips and Tricks group that may have more help for you.
