@Petronella Kerssens I agree with all things stated above, although Orlando is tighter on short term rentals (Orange County specifically). 

Just last year I expanded my property portfolio in California which now includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and Kern counties.

My apples are oranges.

I'm finding some great sellers in Orange County who like that option to help with their capital gains liability...you just need an agent who knows how to present that type of offer.  

As I'm sure you already know, speaking with an attorney who specializes in such ventures is a must to keep you out of an orange jumpsuit!

Now if you don't like long-term data, let's use last 20 yrs only, from JPMorgan Wealth Management Teams in house data, which covers a boom a bust and a boom and a pan-demic, typical for a US 20yr span. which gives us 9.5% nominal (REITS beat SP500 by the way), but the key number is the orange bar, 3.6%, That is what the average wealthy college educated client of theirs dose, hundreds of thousands of clients.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I've got 200,000 earmarked for investment, and I'm looking to dive into the BRRRR, or the Fix and Flip strategies, My focus is rather on a few smaller properties in upstate New York—think Orange, Sullivan, Delaware, Ulster counties, and the scenic Borscht Belt,Any tips or recommendations?

Hi Marcos,Reach out to your closest Orange Coast Title Company.

I'm here to extend a hand to you if you need help around the Orange or Osceola County market.

I worked with one of their reps to put insurance in place at my rental property located in Orange Beach, Al.
