Orlando, FL Investors: Newbie Advice

[Easton Curtis]

Hi there! I'm looking at moving to Orlando in the next year, and I'm hoping to find a multi-family property that I can fix up and house hack. I'm just starting my real estate journey, and I'm wanting to start analyzing Orlando deals now, so that when I'm ready to actually pursue a deal, I've got plenty of analysis practice under my belt. My question is: what online third-party property portfolios are best for the Orlando area, if any? Zillow.com, Realtor.com, Redfin.com, etc? Or do the local MLSs keep a tight hold on their data? Additionally, do you have any tips to offer help, or suggestions to avoid pitfalls, for multi-family properties in the Orlando area?

@Easton Curtis Welcome to the area! Get a Realtor to set you up on a feed. It will have everything that is on the market except FSBO properties. Get to know the neighborhoods so you know if a fixer-upper is in a good area where it would make sense to fix it up. Feel free to reach out if you need any help or have questions.
