Newbie real estate strategy Orlando

Tram Ambers
  • Apopka, FL
Posted

Hello BP,

I am totally new to real estate and I am trying to figure out what the best strategy is for my first property. I really like the idea of a multifamily but I am hesitant about having to live next to tenants. What are the best areas in Orlando (Orange and Seminole counties) for buy and hold cash flow considering that I will live in the property first? Ideally I would like to be within 30 minutes of Apopka.

Thanks in advance:)

@Tram Ambers

Welcome to the site.

Owner occupied multi family is a great way to get started but does have it's negatives.

I would make sure you took your time and only placed someone who would normally qualify as a tenant but also someone who you could get along with.
