@Frank DiGiorgio you should expect your realtor to assist you any way they can. If you are specifically looking for off market, yes your agent can filter by many different criteria...type off ownership, years owned, amount of equity, loan balance, out of state or in state owner, even ‘likely to sell' based on algorithms and many others. You said they were great and knew STR, that should be something they are good at.

@Frank DiGiorgio Have your Realtor sort the neighborhood out by your desired criteria and send a letter/postcard to the owners.

Hi @David Armas I am in Orlando and can help you identify some area around Orlando that you may like. $160k will be pretty tough unless you go far out and/or are okay with doing some rehab to bring it up to market value. Expect lower rents if you want to get in a property for $160, cash flow will be very tight.

Happy to discuss, message me if you likel.

@Joseph Whitton Look up Terri Hatfield-Dull. She should be able to help. Financing will depend mostly on the age, also usually has to be a double wide in order to get it financed and obviously on its own land.

@Josean Lopez Sekulits I am a Realtor in Orlando and do some business in the Tampa area. Our MLS covers Tampa so that helps if you want to work both markets. Orlando is a smaller city, but growing very rapidly and lots of opportunity .Tampa is also experiencing growth and is larger, has many lower price point areas and its close to beaches so you have to be willing to work in the condo space. (something I do no want to ever do!).

Happy to talk about my brokerage and what it might be able to offer you.

Hi @Dashiel C Neimark. I am full time Realtor® and investor in the Orlando area, let me know what I can do to help. Good luck

@Felix Perez Thanks for reaching out! I look forward to hearing from you, always great to see someone getting started early, you'll do great!

@Adonis Hernandez Wholesaling is legal in Florida and is done at a very high level by many people/companies. There are legal implications if you do thing incorrectly or unethically. There is plenty of good information out there and I would be happy to connect you to a few wholesalers in Orlando that I work with and/or a mentor that could teach you all about it and the do's/don'ts. Feel free to reach out if I can help. Good luck.

@Jason M. Feel free to reach out to me. Happy to discuss your plans and strategy and see if I can add any value. Orland is a tough market to cut your teeth on, but if you educate yourself and stay disciplined it can also be lucrative. Let me know if I can help. Good luck.

@Betty Zhu. I am a full time Realtor® and investor in Orlando. You have many great options here to purchase rentals. Cash flow gets a little tough the closer you are to Orlando, but you certainly can find some deals. I personally don't like condos as they have too much power and often are highly mismanaged, leaving owners with assessments and claims going unanswered. Let me know if you would like to chat sometime and see if I can help in any way. Good luck.
