Hi Melanie, I both own and manage in the area and to be honest, the market in Kissimmee/Davenport is tough right now unless you're willing to invest a lot of capital into high end theming. 

The high end is the 20 or so co ops on 5th Avenue or Park Ave (one is on East End Avenue) that require liquid assets of $100 million + to gain board approval.  

I'm just getting my hands on real estate investing, I know it's not a good time with high interest rates 🤦🏻‍♀️but I'm looking to get something by this year.

The other factor that's relevant for me is that my husband is a high end W-2 wage earner and we could greatly benefit from the potential tax benefits of actively managing the property. 

@Dan Shuder - I highly recommend you manage the prroperty you are leaving yourself.

I was able to fund a brrrr deal using 0% interest rate business credit cards ($95k across different cards), I didn't have to deal with lenders and their high interest rates or their draw request process to access renovation funds.

For a first-lien HELOC on a 2-unit rental property, I highly recommend reaching out to Taylor Adams at A&N Mortgage.

Find one that can be custom to your needs, has flexible pricing, no long-term, high-cost memberships, and excellent customer services to determine how to best market to your leads.If you would like a referral code or more information please let me know :)

Most likely due to wanting to invest his time more wisely:)If you can move in with family or friends RIGHT NOW and rent out your house and start DIY managing it BEFORE moving out of state, that would be best.Otherwise, handymen, cleaners, agents, etc. are highly likely to take advantage of you once they find you you live OOS.

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..
