New Investor in Orlando/Central Fl area

[Bryan Covet]

Hello, 

I am looking to break into real estate investing in the Orlando area. My wife and I currently rent in Sanford, Fl. We are a single income home at this time, my wife is a stay at home mom and we would like to finally get into real estate investing. 

I have been doing my research on BP and would like to learn more about the area and possibly house hack a duplex / triplex / etc. We are interested in the buying and holding strategy at this time, nothing written in stone though. Would like to meet up or just follow up on the forums to find out how investors have been successful in Central Florida and surrounding markets.

Thank you all in advance for the help.
