Hi everyone,I currently have a house in Orlando (technically it's my mother's house).

Anyone have a preferred lender in the Orlando/Kissimmee area?

none of them. get closer to a capital market and major city within 30 miles. all of these are too far. look at homestead or north of palm beach county, closer to tampa, etc not an hour away these are over delivered and new builds from tract builders are selling for less than 200 per sq ft right now in some of these markets rents have softened. there's no jobs or macro city that's driving these areas. these are softer markets for BTR than other ones. get more involved and directly contract with builders. miami dade county, even Orlando has better 

I’d also love to connect with a knowledgeable real estate CPA as well as a lawyer in the Orlando/New Smyrna area if anyone has recommendations!

Looking in the Orlando/Kissimmee area.

Here in Orlando, we definitely advise investors to proceed with caution, simply because smaller condos compete directly with hotel rooms.

The best way to cash flow/live free from something like this in my opinion is find a 2/1 on both sides duplex near the actual city of Orlando (theres alot near the advent hospital) that you can fix up to add immediate value.   

Also, I'll add in that in Orange County (most of Orlando) the minimum length is 7 months, if it's within an HOA, they may have a 12 month minimum.

I'm based in cape coral and have majority of my portfolio here... you are right on cashflow and I will add appreciation and population trend is planned to be increased due to this city is one of the cities used as an outlet of miami, Orlando and Tampa since they are too expensive... happy to chat whenever you want.
