Looking at a few chalet style properties in that area and interested in insight from others.

Dear all,Trying out a particular style of real estate investing for the first time can be a major psychological hurdle to clear.

So I'm referring to gated, resort style communities in Kissimmee, near Disney parks.

It will typically last long enough that it goes out of style before it needs replacing from excess damage.  

But there is hope... if you drive through the 4th ward area, you can clearly tell which properties are owned (single family homes with kept lawns and neatly decorated) and which properties are rentals (usually a broken window or two, falling apart porches, messy yards)... the closer to the single family-dense parts in the 4th ward, the better chance you have of getting a rental property that hasn't been laid to waste that you can purchase for a fairly cheap price. 

But it really gets serious with how you handle showings, your application, how you conduct tenant screening, credit / background checks and your communication style throughout all of this.

Anyhow, I'm curious if you have found certain materials or styles that tend to resonate better with buyers in specific markets, like more modern finishes versus traditional ones.
