Orlando Real Estate Investing

Spencer Pillera

I'm thinking about starting my investing journey in Orlando, FL. I'm relocating from Minneapolis, MN so i'm not familiar with the ins and outs of the city. Who are the best agents, and where are the best neighborhoods to buy for buy and hold properties? I plan on house hacking a multifamily with an FHA loan. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Spencer,

    Welcome to BP!

    I think you’re making a great move. I loved  Orlando and still have a property I’m working on in Apopka even though I moved to West Palm Beach last summer.

    You’ll do just fine as long as you work the numbers and stick to a plan. There are a lot of good people on here who can help with any questions you have.

    @Spencer Pillera Welcome! I’m a local investor with one property thus far and building capital for a second buy and hold. Hoping to do the BRRRR strategy next.

    @Spencer Pillera Welcome to the city beautiful! Hope to see you at the local REIA meet ups! I am also starting off looking at BRRR strategies with possible flips if I can find a good contractor I can network with who can provide accurate estimates! Day by day :)

    Hi Spencer.  

    I recently relocated from the north also (Canada) and am an active investor in the Orlando area as I purchased a Homevestors franchise.  Let me know if I can help in any way.  Best of luck!

    Welcome, Spencer! 

    Congrats on the move - and your REI plan. I've loved real estate investing and have no regrets exactly...but if I could start all over, I would house hack early and often.

    Best of luck and keep us posted on your journey!
