My goal is to reach financial freedom as quick as possible.

But when I started doing the numbers on potential rentals I realized they weren't going to meet my goals.

Just have your financial details and investment goals ready for the discussion.To get the best rates, it’s a good idea to check out both banks and lenders who specialize in investment properties.

Hi Anne,It all depends on your own goals, if you really believe in the area, have done the work and have come to a conclusion that your money is used best in an asset here, then do it.Theres no reward without any risk.

Your goals, your risk tolerance, etc.

My goal as I think it is for most people is to have a few properties that offer me a decent additional income.

I am in the process of networking locally to start figuring out who can/should be part of my team.Originally I had had an interest in being a limited partner in syndications, but with my goal of enough cash flow to replace my day job (and eventually my wife's), I don't think that that is going to get me where I want to go.So I am now considering SFH, small (<4 unit) multitenant.

Given the expertise of realtors and investors in the Orlando area, could you please provide some insights on whether Orlando is the right market to look into for my goals? 

I specialize in working with investors and truly enjoy helping clients reach their real estate goals.

Have a workout split, plan, and goal for the next several years.
