Ocala vs Belleview vs Summerfield

[Murali Jesudoss]

Hello Team,

I have been closely watching the Silver Spring Shores in Ocala and Ocala Park Estate areas and have 5 homes under my belt there. I now have an opportunity to acquire few new homes 3B 2B 1G in South east of Silver spring shores and also Belleview and Summerfield areas for 160ish grand range.

I would like to know from fellow Central FL investors how do these areas compare? Are Belleview and Summerfield as good as Ocala in terms of long term rental and appreciation? do they have high vacancy rate? If there are as good as Ocala, are there any areas or zip codes I should be beware and stay away?

Also, there are lot of homes coming up in Locust streets like locust loop, locust ln locust rd, etc(different names) in South east side of silver spring shores. Google map shows them as forest background areas with 1 or 2 homes in street but my builder says these are out of date and these roads are having lot of new homes? Can anyone on the ground confirm the same? Like if these homes would be as close to the core silver spring shore homes in-terms of rental and appreciation?

Thanks again for all your help!!
