You can do well here with a purchase price in the $500k+ range and a furnishing budget of no less than $35k is my recommendation for a DIYer.

Rental rates are pretty flat in the Orlando area, and vacancy has expanded and you'll see rates in the 7-10% range, but it just depends on what source you get it from. 

Select a larger area that is at least 30 minutes in each direction. with maybe a hand full of exceptions I am pretty sure you would be hard pressed to find a mix that represents the demographic cross section of this country and therefor a wide range of neighborhoods.

When adjusting for the DP assistance you mentioned, you seem to be approximately in that range!

I think she actually had a really good idea.she believes that providing gift baskets for first time tenants that include general house warming gifts, cleaning supplies,maybe a recipe book  and even a small book or brochure of how to care of  a house would be a great start to a relationship/good tenant.the goal of this would be to obviously motivate your tenant to take care of your property, keep it clean, and to create a level of respect between both parties right off the bat. that means (rent on time, communication, a good experience from beginning to end.)im interested in hearing your thoughts about this and if any of you are or have already tried it?

Right now our rental loans are in the mid 6% range without a buydown.

Midlothian, Decatur, Weatherford, Sherman depending on your price range and age preferences.
