Getting Started in the Orlando Area - A Few Questions

[Justin B.]

Hello! After thinking and doing light real estate education here and there for a couple years, I think it's time to get into the real estate investing game. Tough to begin though...

Any meetup suggestions or recommendations for ways to connect with others? I'm in Winter Garden.

Lastly, is anyone buying land and building multifamily on it? At least on my side of town, multifamily units are so rare that it seems like a great opportunity to buy a lot and build a duplex or more if the cost would be reasonable. Wondering if people are doing this here or no.

Justin,
Sorry to give you some tough love here, but if you have been researching and "thinking" about getting into real estate for a couple years, you don't need a meetup or a mastermind or more material to consume. You need to buy a frickin house. Forget about building a multiunit on a piece of land you will never find. Get a realtor, have them send you some houses, and find one that cashflows even $100 and go for it. 

I recommend a house-hack in the Disney area. I have been doing them for years and my cashflow on every one of them is $1,000+

Happy housing,

-Matt
