I have considered going that route, but am mainly focusing on short term rentals right now, purchasing and managing, for myself and others.

What can I focus on with my quick pitch to establish value that differentiates me from the wholesalers that have left a bad taste in your mouth?

@Daniel Soyars I'm a realtor in Central FL but mainly focus on Orange Lake and Seminole counties.

I would spend some time to try to decide what your focus will be as a loan officer?

I imagine there are less visitors, and some months where expenses aren't fully covered.

I had been focusing on long term rentals but ran a hotel for 5 years and thought I might enjoy short term rentals more.

Right now I am focused on 4 units and above.

What market are you laser focused on?
