You got the lower down because the property is owner-occupied.

This is what I recommend to new investors who contact me asking if these numbers look good. 

I've been a licensed agent here in Maine at the Augusta-based Pouliot Real Estate for the last 2 years, but began my real estate career in Savannah, Georgia (my GA license is currently inactive).

There are a ton of complexities with properly repairing a fire damaged house....they sell really cheap for a reason.

Would give you a good idea as to what to expect.

Is it possible? 

I have done it successfully on my last 2 buildouts, maybe 3, but only because I was able to acquire the properties at a very low price and I did all the work in-house (myself and some hired hands on staff).

These communities also feature amenities which make them appealing to Disney families, such as club houses with pools,restaurants, lazy rivers etc.The area is indeed saturated, but keep in mind it is also the most visited vacation destination in the U.S.

We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

Thanks in advance to everyone who shares their thoughts.Let's pretend I'm some 23yr old know-nothing in real estate BUT what I do know is Real Estate Investing content sells like hot cakes.
