It was pretty interesting watching this all play out..

It will just be a lot of work to find experienced flippers playing in that price point

With any kind of lease violation, the severity of the issue, documentation, objective criteria for correcting the issue etc all play into whether an eviction will succeed.Given that, for any lease violation, beyond what you have already done which is great!

Real estate is one of the most powerful wealth-building vehicles—but only if you know how to play the game. 

•Downtown Orlando is a different play, with fewer STR-friendly properties but good mid-term rental potential.

While I am down here in South Florida, where real estate is a sport and finding a parking spot feels like an investment strategy, house hacking can work anywhere if you play it right.Since you are new to the area, I would start by getting a feel for rental demand.

I also have some solid contacts I can bring into play.

While you certainly need the cash flow to cover expenses solidly, sacrificing a little to buy in an area with higher values may end up being a better long term play... likely to have less turnover, higher tenant demand, better appreciation from owner occupants driving prices up, etc.All the best!

Ended up moving and renting as a LTR> cash-flow play. 

I was thinking - go ahead and sue, when discovery comes into play and they have to testify under oath (for example were they raising money properly and how were they managing money) - many will not want to answer that question while on the stand.
