Zach,

I’m not an experienced investor but my first thought might be to try Franklin County.

How is your 2bdr condo rental working? Does that not cash flow well? I’ve considered a Chittenden county condo rental but not sure how it’d workout.

If one were to buy a property tax lien certificate, specifically in Florida, is there any risk at losing more than your initial investment if you don’t foreclose on the house?

As I understand it, in Florida, you need to initiate a foreclosure and then you only have the opportunity to bid for the deed. So you wouldn’t end up with a problem property unless you actively foreclose and bid on it.

Any experience or input is appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. Kahren, what sort of property are you looking at getting into? Up in the islands or closer to Burlington?

Hello, I’m a new investor from the Burlington, Vermont area and I want to introduce myself on the forums.

I’d like to begin investing in real estate. A condo appeals to me because of not needing to deal with some the shared maintenance and the lower price point, but I’ve also heard that the association fees dig into cash flow.

I’d love to hear from anyone in the area that has had success with a certain type of rental.
