New and open to advice

Fallon Gilbert
Posted

Hey everyone!

I'm newer to the real estate world and I want to put myself out there to build a network. I currently haven't purchased any properties but I'm looking to obtain my first one within 6 months. I live on Long Island which is a very expensive market to invest in, so I've been thinking about investing out of state. I've currently been looking towards Florida, specifically Orlando, as I travel frequently to visit friends/family. 

So far, I've been trying to do some market analysis which has been slow progress as I'm still trying to figure out how to do it properly. I've decided on long-term rentals as I would like something that is more passive than short-term rentals. If anyone invests in this area and can give some advice on where to/where not to go it would be much appreciated!

Looking forward to discussion!

    Hey@Fallon Gilbert Welcome to Real Estate and BP!

    Let me know what type of metrics you are looking at and budget etc and would be happy to have a call to discuss the market here in Orlando. I wouldn't dismiss STR, especially here in Orlando and if you come here, you'd always have a place to stay and could potentially write off your trips.

    Best of luck, reach out anytime.!
