Sadly, in spite of quite a few comments on this forum, many are clueless with regard to understanding or evaluating the numbers; and rarely take the time to look at monthly financial reports beyond what their Net Rental payment is.

Current Market Conditions: Evaluate whether your local market favors quick sales (fix & flip) or stable rental demand (buy & hold).2.

If they say no, then ask them what options they recommend since they are the ones limiting your progress to improve the community.

So far, FTF has performed as advertised and I get timely and thorough reports on status for each project with financials, progress, risk profile and photos.There is a bit more risk associated with these one-off investments, however the low entry makes that more tolerable.

TimelineThe projects appeared to be progressing well throughout 2018.

I do not agree with the OP on reasons for cash flow being unpredictable as maintenance, cap ex, vacancy, property tax, insurance, etc should be thoroughly evaluated and covered in the underwriting. 

Its always good to do your own move in evaluation with photos or video and upload to the tenant file.

Also, happy to help evaluate your property in the Lake Nona area if you think it would be helpful at all.
