I'm ending off this week on a high as my team just placed a family who was displaced due to a flood into one of our Radiate Real Estate branded homes. 

I tend to find my own properties and deal with the realtors directly but having a realtor if you are brand new to the area, is helpful. 

I'm originally from BR and still invest heavily and lend there. 

I would definitely hold it until conditions settle down a little bit, with that loan and interest and being brand new home your cash will be good.

Quote from @Himateja Madala: Hey folks,I am brand new to STR's and am here looking for suggestions around STR in Kissimmee area.

By the way, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a growing number of niche investors cropping up who love grabbing assignments that fly under the mainstream radar, especially if you’re bringing something fresh to the table like a distressed duplex they can reposition, or a small portfolio of row homes they can turn into long-term rentals.

Are there any brands you recommend or would stay away from.

Brand new house.  

brand=CMP&a...The owners of these lots should have gotten their money back by now.

It's even better than some other brands.
