Hello, my husband and I are considering buying our 2nd property as 2nd house or vacation home in Orland, Florida.

We are currently in CA.  For our first step, we are trying to find good lenders. I contacted several but not everyone didn't answer the phone.

So, my question is, how many lenders do you contact? Maybe 3 lenders will be enough? One of the brokers whom I spoke with today recommended not to contact other lenders, because it will affect our credit and anyways everyone will do the same job but he will do better.-.- 

I have one lender in CA which is my primary residency and I contacted several in Orland,FL since we are buying property in Fl. 

Do you think it is a good idea to have a lender from the state you want to purchase? 

I will really appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

What is the best strategy to use in Orlando when first starting out? Fix and flip, wholesale, buy and hold? Looking to build a portfolio and need someone I can trust/partner up with

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some guidance. I bought a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom property in Orlando near Disney World for short-term rentals. It's been a year, and contrary to my initial profit projections, I've been consistently losing money. Considering long-term rental as a better option, I listed the property, but after three months on the market and only receiving low offers, I'm reevaluating. This investment has increasingly felt like a financial burden. I'm contemplating making updates to the property but am uncertain about the return on investment (ROI) I would receive. I'd greatly appreciate any advice or insights from anyone who has navigated a similar situation. Below is my Airbnb link I am open to all recommendations!

Hello! My fiancée and I recently made our first post here and after gaining some great advice we have refined our goals and our now looking for more specific guidance. 
We are aspiring investors looking to start our real estate journey in 2024. We live in Los Angeles, both are self employed 1099 independent contractors, combined annual income roughly 250k pre-tax. About 100k cash saved in the bank.

We have a job opportunity that would put us in Tampa, FL about 4 months out of the year total (non-consecutively), and we are curious as to whether the Tampa market or nearby markets could be a good fit for us.

We initially have been looking at out of state options (MI, OH, NC, etc) since our local market in Los Angeles is so ridiculously expensive. However, with this opportunity to actually be in Tampa in person we are hoping we can find a market near there that we can make work for us, since being able to visit the home in person will give us an advantage over trying to set up a team and systems without ever really spending time in the market we are investing in.

For us, long term equity growth and appreciation are top priorities, since we don’t really need a few hundred a month in cash flow with our current income. Eventually yes of course we want to use our real estate investments to retire as young as possible, but what I’m saying is we don’t need immediate huge cashflows in the first few years, and we will happily sacrifice short term cash flow for long term appreciation.

All that said, is Tampa FL or any surrounding area a good market for our budget and goals? Hoping to put no more than 60k cash into the first deal (ideally less), and looking for the strongest appreciating market possible.

Thanks in advance!

most people love the south Florida  area most investors and realtors always recommend jax , mia , tampa. any other smaller non saturated markets?

Thanks , 

Allen. 

If so, were there any resources you found useful with respect to zoning, permitting, licensing in Kissimmee?  Including transfering of permitting or licensing from current owner to prospective owner?

I'm closing on a property that I'm going to refinance into a buy and hold after some repairs in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area. Not too far from Orlando. 

I'm looking for any recommendations for a property manager who serves that area. 

Thank you in advance!
