I could take look at it for you, and help you understand it if it's a standard lease, no need to pay me, although I am not a lawyer.  If it's more complicated eviction.com may be your best bet to use they are pretty cost effective.

Post: Best market to house hack in?

Hey, I'm a house hacker myself. 1 SFH, now rented out completely, and currently in a duplex that I just refinanced. I'd recommend the Orlando area if you're worried about taxes/insurance. My insurance is only about 1900 a year for each property I have and taxes are around 4500 each, with both valued around 400k or more. It's not too far and if you can work from home its perfect. If you need to be a bit closer, maybe consider Lakeland?

One thing I would highly recommend that I wish I knew was ask if the seller would be willing to give a credit for a sewer scope, and get a feel for how much they will give.  I did a sewer scope one time, and it was so dirty we had to get it cleaned, and then when I asked for a credit since they didnt want to clean it at their expense, they told me they'd only give me $500 credit, which was what I paid.  The realtor was god awful as well though, she made decisions on the clients behalf without their permission multiple times haha.

Quote from @Caleb Brown:

90% of the time my clients do a scope. Our ground moves quite a bit and $150 is worth it to see if there is a 5K+ repair needed. Also clay tile/cast iron is very common in our area


 who did you pay $150?  I paid about $500 when I got one done a few years ago.  Do you mind sharing me that contact information? XD

Hi Adrian, my company (ERA Grizzard) has an entire property management arm with ( I could be off), but around 1800 units under management. Plus we have 7 offices around Orlando and looking to acquire more next year. Let me know and I can set up an interview with the broker/owner. 


 Thank you, I just reached out to you with the number you have.  Message me if that’s not your direct line and I’m interested to chat more about your brokerage

Hello everyone.  I'm on the hunt for a brokerage that allows property management and real estate sales.  Also one with low fees, and preferably not cloud based or revenue share based, any recommendations are greatly appreciated, thank you!

Looking to connect with some property management companies in the Orlando area.  Please send me a message and lets connect, and see how we can benefit one another.  I am well aware there is a property management finder and have spoken with several on there.

Quote from @Lindsay Tucker:

Just curious what's motivating them to do mid-term rather than short? I have a property in Denver that does great with mid-term so I toyed with trying mid-term with a townhome I bought in Kissimmee—not too far from your clients' place. The interest in mid-term there was abysmal. Polar opposite of Denver. So I switched that property to STR and it's doing fantastic. I did start with lower prices to be competitive and get reviews at first. Now it's close to 100% occupancy. Maybe something for them to consider.


New Smyrna Beach and the HOA doesnt allow rentals less than 1 month. We actually have it fully booked now. The little price drop worked great.

Hi Mario welcome, I'm a fellow realtor that works with investors as well in the Orlando area.  Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect.

Get your W-2 income up, and work on buying a spot that you can rent the rooms out, or a duplex you can rent the other side of.  Also make sure you are familiarizing yourself with the cost of properties in the area you'd like to buy so you know what a good deal is when one comes up.  Find someone who has done it, and see if they can help you as well.  It helps a lot to get advice from others who have done it so you know what to do, and what to expect.
