For Example on a Saturday morning this past winter Mike and I went and looked at a 10 unit building, we walked through it went to sit down with the seller and all of a sudden to my horror I hear Mike say “If I give you $500 right now can we buy it for asking price”.As it turns out the seller got another asking price offer that afternoon but he already took our money.

@Aaron Winters I haven't done a deal with them yet, but I've also been looking into them.

In the winter its the gas bill for renters using the heated pool and in the summer its been the electric bill from the AC (just got one yesterday for July - $472!!!). 

. $1600 if it's the dead of winter or it's in 1990s shape. 

They are booked nearly solid, except in the winter months. 

Right now, I don’t have a lot of cash, but I am looking to get financing on multis, single, or raw land zoned for r2 and above near the theme parks, winter garden, Davenport, Kissimmee, no more than 160-180k I also am looking for referrals to property managers for when I do acquire more, as well as legit handy men/ contractors.

If your considering raising rents by a large amount, maybe you should wait until the end of the year as an eviction could possibly push you into winter, where your pool of potential  good tenants will be low. 

Lucky,I don’t know about 50% appreciation, but I think areas to look at would be Winter Haven, Pasco County, Lakeland and possibly DeLand in Volusia county.

The buyer plans to rehab the property to make it rent ready, it is currently in bad condition which he knows cause he is the one that boarded it up during the winter.

This was during winter months when there isn't a whole lot of interest to move.
