What's everyone doing in Southwest Florida?

[Shannon Vinson]

Hi everyone I'm just getting started and I was curious as to what is popular and what works here in the southwest Florida area. My girlfriend and I were renting a house for a year but I moved back in with my parents to save up some money to get started in real estate. We have about 10,000 saved so far. As far as strategy I was leaning toward doing a low or no money down, owner occupied, single family for a year and fix it up a little and raise the value and then move into something else and rent it out. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
