@Jesse Os if they're not protruding the concrete wall and your semi handy, just go to home depot grab a tub of hydraulic cement and go to town !!!!!!!

@Brad Miller by square reader you mean the small devices that connect to an OS device (IPAD or IPHONE) ?

All expenses including HELOC payments (principal + interest) will need to come out of the rental income on a month-to-month basis.I am aware of the recent Orlando ordinance allowing home sharing (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orange/os-orla...), but will not be competing with them.Is this a good time to invest?

I assume a D neighborhood. also its close to 2%. but anything that rents for under 700ish os going to cost you. paint and doors cost the same for a property that rents for 1200, but atleast you can renovate it every year at higher rents.

@Jesse Os I'd say they are kind of an in between of laminate and stone.

Crosby, A rough profit os $20K means after all costs/commissions? 

We'd love to stay investing in OS but like you said there is nothing affordable in this city!!

Remember this, those brokerages that said you can only start full time would let you start full time and then go get another job, which does not make a lot os sense.

If you lock yourself in an 18 month L/O you won't be able to sell to someone else for that time, so you are guaranteed to lose that money every month.The way I look at L/Os is that I assume the person is never going to buy it.

They can be safe transactions, they can work, but I have yet to meet anyone, I mean anyone, including attorneys who have boilerplate L/Os, that covered the bases sufficiently.
