In my personal experiences a lot of structural items start with bad drainage.

That's been an interesting experience!

Right now, I am not as interested in investing as I am in helping another investor in order to get some hands-on experience while my wife and I save a little bit more money.

But, you already know that having property management experience.

I backed up, regrouped and went smaller to gain more experience. 

If there are any owners on this forum that have any first-hand experience with STRs in the Kissimmee area?

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market. 

Houses tend to go a lot quicker than apartments in our experience BUT you have to price it right.

Finally, start small, analyze deals, and build a team to guide you as you gain experience.

I’m also looking for mentorship, partnerships, and apprenticeship opportunities to sharpen my skills and learn from those who’ve been there before.If you’re an investor, agent, lender, or property manager in Milwaukee (or have experience with multi-family and house hacking), I’d love to connect!
