Hey @MiguelCenteno,

Welcome to BP! I'm a Real Estate agent that works with investors locating properties in Central Florida. I love seeing young people doing things in Real Estate - especially so near to me! 

What areas of Central Florida are you looking at? 

Best, 

That's really inspiring. How much did you have to put down or did you finance the full 191k? Really nice work. 

Hello form Sunny Florida as well. Hope the rain stays away today! Happy prospecting/buying/seller out there!

@Ryan Dossey Is your $7k just in direct mailings? Or do you have several marketing avenues. Also, if you don't mind me asking what source(s) did you use to compile your lists? Public records?

@Account Closed it's pretty standard in Central Florida that if you want power on, you turn it on. Most REO's have it on the listing - "want it? Pay for it.."

@Jason Duprat 

I work primarily with out of state and international investors who focus on buy and hold investment grade properties in Central Florida. We've got roughly 300 units under management throughout Orlando and Tampa. 

Full Service Brokerage - property acquisition and renovations, sales, and management. 

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk more. 

Good luck out there!

@Keyur S. Central Florida region. The I4 Corridor Tampa to Orlando.. Message me if you are interested. 

As long as the market will bear the $982 rent rate. Why not try it! For some of our rentals we will offer a free prorate of 2 weeks or something along those lines if we are antsy to get a unit leased. Or if they want to start the lease on a 1st but take possession on the 25 of the month before. 5 days rent free usually makes a new tenant pretty happy. Not a big loss on the cashflow and the unit gets leased faster. 

@Jay Y. Hey we use some color variation of this Resilient Vinyl Plank Flooring on almost very one of our 300 + rentals and it works great!!

Carpet will last 1-2 rental cycles. We are find this material last 4-5 rental cycles. It's water 'proof' and easy to maintain. It's a bit more expensive then carpet but well worth the invest from my experience.

In the end, it's going to be entirely up to the seller what price they are willing to accept. Present to them all the numbers, facts, and trends. A rational person will oblige to the sways of the market. An irrational seller is going to drive you insane. Just make sure you didn't over promise them what the market will actually bear.
