Mt Dora is close enough to Orlando for people who want a day two at the attractions there but also want to enjoy a day at the beach at Daytona, kayak or hike in the Ocala National Forest, or enjoy "Old Florida" history in the town.

On the other hand, Orlando is an attractive STR mkt, and I would think SFR there might be more attractive because the maintenance is a lot less.

@Daniel Johnson I heard a rumor at the event it would be in Orlando.  

I’m a real estate investor switching from Orlando to Atlanta.

@Orlando Glez-Jorge, that depends on who you go to and your experience level. 

We are more like an hour from major metro areas (Orlando, Tampa), and we aren't really scared of scarier neighborhoods... being more driven by the margin numbers.  

I recently moved from Miami to Orlando to work as a Business Development Manager for Innovative Realty and I quickly discovered the Orlando market is completely different from what I'm used to in Miami.

@Adeel Makda I've invested in Indy, KCMO, Dallas/FW, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Greenville, Raliegh, Denver Metro...

If you’re looking for affordable growing MSAs with plenty of B class housing stock try: San Antonio, TX Columbus, OH Orlando and Jacksonville, FL Charlotte, NC
