You're right, we're a resilient city and a lot of neighbors helping neighbors.

It is pricey and a little hard to make the numbers in my experience, but it is a vast area (S FL in general) so I am sure there are pockets where it makes sense. 

That means an 800K purchase and a 200K rehab (1 million invested) can result in a 400K tax credit that results in 360K CASH back in the pocket of the investor.  

Low barrier to entry, low taxes, landlord friendly, some amazing class A and B suburbs and a strong urban core. 

Documentation Needed – Lenders typically require lease agreements, property income statements, and a minimum DSCR (usually 1.1–1.25).

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

CIREA is great but we tent to get just as many people and a ton of great energy. rootsrealty.co/events 

Around this time I discovered Bigger Pockets and a bunch of real estate platforms online.

Hey Tyler we hate to hear that your experience was negative sincerely we would have hoped that we could have come to a resolution we know that you and your partner had made a request that we do $800 of work that was unfortunately not in your scope of work at the time we had exhausted $4900 in additional work to ensure the property was to satisfaction which included a new hood range upgraded lvp flooring additional framing  new window and a paint upgrade from a single color format to a multi color format and can lighting all of which was never in the original scope and unfortunately when we requested that we do the work you declined I’ve attached before and after videos of the home for reference https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0ddll4cyp5g5gq12o73s/Video-J... always twos sides to these stories.. 

I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.
