Something else to consider would be that you already likely have cleaners, handyman services and the like in Orlando area.

Where do you go when you need to find a service.

The 8-20 units are sort of a mixed bag, with some going to residential agents and going on MLS, and others going into more commercial brokerages (Loopnet (listing service not brokerage, CBRE, Cushman, Colliers, Newmark).  

Does anyone use a service to help you quickly generate more accurate renderings of your "after" prior to any "before" on any property?

You may have $0 for marketing because you will use a free service.

However so far i just got lip service and no action.

As many have mentioned, it will depend on the services included in the fee. 

My friend @Edgar Barbosa was also in the service and I believe he has used a VA loan. 

I find very few of the latest generation of episodes applicable/interesting to me.

For anyone purchasing a condo, please do not remove loan contingencies before learning whether the condo project has been cleared by underwriting.The appraisal is typically an out of pocket expense, similar to the home inspection, that the applicant will be responsible for whether or not the loan closes.
