Sounds exciting! Thanks for taking the initiative @Ceasar Blackman .

Hey Carl,

Welcome to BP. I work in real estate in Orlando. I'd love to speak with you sometime so we could figure out how to work together toward our mutual benefit. Good luck on your test! Be persistent!

Welcome to BP @Sam Abbitt ! It sounds like your off to a great start. There are lots of guys on here who have deals in Orlando. Be sure to check back often and set up keyword alerts. I'm in Orlando too and I'd like to hear more about the criteria you are using to evaluate your deals. If I know what you are looking for, I can let you know when I find it.

You're welcome @Justin Stamper . If we work together we can accomplish more than if we are all working on our own. Just makes sense.

I like your idea @Adam McLellan . What do you think would be the best way to "cast a wide net" and set up a face to face meeting with all the Orlando people on here who want to work together?

Maybe post something in a forum?

Justin - Did you an Ceasar meet up at the Flacon? I wanted to go, but I double booked myself that day and couldn't make it. If the meeting happened, how was it?

Bryston,

I'm a real estate agent in a similar position as yourself. I also live in Orlando and I propose we meet up and talk; to see how we could team up.

I know Justin Stamper and Cesar Blackmon (Apologies if I misspelled your names) are working in Orlando doing deals. Also Foster Algiers (again, apologies if I flubbed your name) is actively doing deals in town.

Search for these people on BP and offer them an incentive to work with you. I have not worked with them personally, but from their posts, they appear to be movers and shakers as they say.

Also my advice to you would be to join some local rei clubs, and cultivate the ability to find/create great deals investors would want to invest in.

Yours truly,

Greg Fries

Amy,

This is not what you wanted, but it may what you need.

My dad is a licensed GC working in Florida for over 30+ years. He works for one of the top 5 largest home builders in the US, and we both live in Orlando.

If there is anyone who has experienced everything in construction; it's him.

If you'd like I can put you guys in touch, and he can probably give you sagely advice. You'll have to wait though because he LOVES to talk.

If you're interested, write me with an email address or phone number (preferably phone number, he would prefer that method), and I'll have the pops contact you.

Also, to further your post here, can you elaborate on what you mean by, "look at the house" ? Do you just want someone to certify that the work is done so you can get a CO? Or do you need someone to make corrections? Details please.

I'm pulling for you to win the negotiation and make it down here to the most beautiful state in the country! Congratulations on joining that remote workforce, that's a big deal whether you make it down here or not. Keep us posted. Good luck and great success!

May I RSVP in this thread? As long as the location is in Orlando I'm happy. :-) Please let me know if this event confirms so I can put a reminder in my calendar. Thanks for taking the intitative to start something gentlemen.

I'm curious about your progress. Can you share any update @Jared Crain?

That was a great response @Wayne Brooks!

For a quick direct answer, judging from what I've read on these forums, the multifamily seems to be a "better" way to go.

BUT I think Brandon Turner (and a majority of others) would say that it doesn't matter the style, and what's most important is finding a great deal.

If you've got financing options lined up than the next step is to get a connection who can put properties in front of you, so you can start running numbers on the properties to find a great deal.

Unless I've missed the point of the question, my answer is to start doing calculations on specific properties on the market to find the best deal and don't emphasize the style too much.

Full disclosure, I'm a licensed Realtor working in Orlando, so let me know how I may help. I hope my input has been useful Asia!
