I rehab and also buy and hold.

I am a young, new investor looking for some advice on a potential buy.

Are you looking for a house to buy or manage here in Florida, as an airbnb, etc?

@Polat Caglayan very ambiguosu question, but read the helpful info below to guide your next set of questions:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Property Managers:While realtors are great at buying and selling homes, most aren’t trained in the intricacies of tenant screening.

I'm looking to purchase a single family home as an investment property (buy and hold strategy).

For example, I often recommend working with vendors who specialize in rental property maintenance or have experience with rental landscaping to keep your property looking great without overspending.Start Small and SmartFocus on buying a property that fits your budget and investing goals.

I plan to buy my first rental property within 2 years (by Dec. 2026).

I work closely with many buy and hold investors and would be happy to share insights or explore ways we can collaborate. 

Remember that it takes more cash than you think to buy a place, too.
