Welcome Drew, BP is a great resource. I like how you're already thinking beyond your local market. Have you read David Greene's book on investing out of state?

We are beginning our Florida Investment property search.  We are taking a drive to Orlando today.  Can anyone recommend areas to drive through.  This is very preliminary and we don't plan to purchase now, just familiarize ourselves with the area for a purchase somewhere in Florida in early 2020.  Any Orlando folks, please let me know if you have any advice.

That's pretty broad... but there is a diversity in Orlando area. From Bedroom communities to downtown living, low income to uppity, and most in between you can find in the Orlando area. Seems like a lot of housing options are from the 1960s to 90s. There is new construction as well but a lot of the established areas you can expect to be from that time period.

 Thanks Javier, yes I've been trying to learn as much as I can and BP has been great. I see you're in the winter springs area, have you been to the Orlando BP meet up?

Thank you everyone for replying it's much appreciated! 

@Kelly Zingarelli Thank you for the heads up I'll most certainly try to join the group! Unfortunately do to work I'm stuck here in New Jersey this weekend. Which is a bummer, I could really use a goal-setting meeting. 

@Brandon L. Thanks for the links I'll check them out!


@Suhan Junaid I drive around florida from time to time, I wouldn't say south florida is out of the question.

Hello BP!

I am David McKee, I've lived in Central FLorida all of my life. 27 years old and looking to be able to not rely on a job by my 40s. I am currently listening to many podcasts, and audiobooks to educate myself. There's a wealth of information out there for me to absorb before I feel comfortable deciding which way will work best for me to eventually own multiple homes/complexes.

Work for Siemens Energy. I get the privilege of traveling around the world at the cost of spending half the year away from home. Love the opportunity though! I get to see different markets constantly to compare and contrast, while finding time to be a tourist too. While on the road my daily expenses are all covered and my rent at home is cheap so it's easy for me to save money. Plus I don't touch my overtime at all.

Hobbies include: Self growth, drifting my chevy v8 nissan 240sx, hockey, concerts, travel.

Can't wait to educate myself so I can contribute to meet ups in a productive way. I keep an open and humble mind. Thank you BP members and employees, this website, forum and multiple products I've all found very well laid out, professional and seems to truly have the best interest of total strangers at its heart. What a great community!

Post: GM closing their Detroit plants

I saw the number 14000 on the news today, I'm guessing that's a total number for the 5 GM plants being shutdown.

I drive by the Lordstown plant last week, and have worked in the town for 2 weeks. It's mostly older homes. I did get the feeling that while it isn't a super small town, the town does rely heavily on the GM plant for a high percentage of income. There's a new power plant that's been built in Lordstown so I'd also assume the demand is increasing for power. Hope that helps.

Took advantage of this deal and bought 3 audiobooks for the price of one normally. Can't wait to get through them!
