Last year 68 million visitors visited Orlando, FL which is a record but the numbers for Hotels dropped lasted year.

A lot of our clients are average homeowners, so they don't have much extra money to fix up their place to make it suitable for STR.

A 7% return for the investor with the first position note might make sense if it were for a suitable period of time for them since it would be well secured.

@David Gamble nice houses are generally suitable for lease option.

Lancaster is a great up-and-coming area, but I've had difficulty finding suitable cash flow properties there.

My thinking here is that the non-profit itself is providing benefit to the community by repairing properties, creating suitable housing, and increasing home values in the neighborhood.

I may do many things to accomplish that, work with you, work with other investors that I work with, find a buyer more suitable for the project, Or I may or may not buy the property for myself, it all depends upon how the numbers work out, If it looks like I can do something for you and make a profit great, but If it looks like I may lose money then of course I would have to reject the project for me because I can't lose money and stay in business, but at the least I can give you any suggestions that I may think of that might help you to do what it is that you want to do, that's fair isn't it?"

Long sitting tenants often have difficulty finding suitable replacement housing.  

Hi,As a Newbie, I am going fast. This is my 3rd question post in four days.My investment priority is Cash Flow. The rental in south Florida seems quite low, my 1st purchase was $240k two years ago, now worth of $300k....

Assuming 70% LTV, you could probably walk with around $100k, on which your monthly payment might be around $500(this could vary kind of widely, depending on interest rate, if it's interest only, etc.)In order to justify this strategy, you'd need to be able to invest those funds at a suitable spread.
