I bought and older wood frame house with a lit attached where j built a 3/2 brick house that I also rent.

This experience, coupled with finding the Bigger Pockets podcast has really lit a fire under us to do more and that's what we'll be doing. 

@Austin WoodMaybe I'm being a bit dim, but you are going to have to explain to me how that works... 

I saw the words "mk1 Rabbits" and my eyes lit up.

The facility was well laid out and well lit and the staff was accommodating  without being pushy. 

Just make a lit of banks and go talk to them all here in town. 

Im in a little Town called Bushnell which is in Sumter County .. the same county The Villages is located in .. and the reason i love it is I live in the county ( kind of ) I have almost 2 acres ( but there are a lit if bugger parcels here ) and I am only 45-60 min from Tampa, Orlando and a bit longer to Lakeland and Daytona ( about 1hr 15 min ) , I can get to Ocala in just under 35-40 mins and all the towns surrounding these bigger citys are just getting better investment wise everyday .. like Inverness .. its only 15 miles from me and there are a lit of 3/2 homes still priced at around  $50k-$75k and need a additional $12-20k worth of rehab but thats to flip them .. to rent them most only need $5-12k and the rents inventory is very low right now .. the normal 3/2 rents for $1000-1200 depending on sqft .. for the most part rents are anywere from $650-1700 depending on size and bedrooms .. but I hear from a really reliable source that the city is looking to add 2 new big manufacturing plants, can't say who but, they are supposed to start by the end of 2017 .

We are looking to do the same thing for a flat in Athens which we'll turn into another artist's studio.Instead of the 2% rule, I have a 3% rule when looking for properties like this: it covers management and cleaning fees and utilities.Some key elements to doing well on Air BnB:* Beautiful, well-lit photos* Excellent location convenient to transport* Well written ad with thorough description of local attractionsWhat can make up for a lack in any of the above:* A quirky design/unique lodging experience, at a low price NB: Air BnB type services have been drawing the ire of hotel lobbyists to local governments, and many renters don't pay taxes on the $ earned.

It is a very convenient, lit-intersection, location in the county.I think it will rent for $750We are going to put $6500 into the house to clean it up.
