Hi everyone,

After talking to a few of you on BP back in April, I invested in a property with another fellow BP member in Cincinnati.  Thank you for that.  Will be continuing to look for investments in Cincinnati and midwest area for Cash Flow.  Will keep you all posted.

Now I will be going to Orlando to look at potential Cash Flow, but mainly equity long term buy and hold. I will be there from 7/27 - 7/31. Where in Orlando should I invest? Or Florida for that matter? Sarasota? What are the good and bad parts? Where have you invested? Are there any agents out there? What should I be expecting for ROI. CF and Appreciation? Are there any fellow investors out there? Are there any lenders out there? Want to meet the team on the ground. Any and all advice welcome.

To find out about an area go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers. Call 5 ask them what sides of the city they like/dislike and why. Ask what they see them selling for and what expenses are by category. Ask if they know anything coming up for sale.
