Something like this: 1133 Hill Mount Drive, Minneola (suburb of Orlando)? 

The HOA's are definitely going to play a big factor in my decision making.

Luxery rentals in exclusive resort areas, where short-term renters typically drive up in a Lamborghini and wearing enough diamonds to blind a person v. 3/2/2 brick on slab in a subdivision rented to a blue-collar Joe. 

That should be a discrete cost line item and factored into the ROI, as most of these costs will be capitalized I imagine.

Then factor in your social life if you wanted one.

Hello all, I am starting my real estate investing journey and have capital, some knowledge and a lot of drive.

Hi Johnny,Phill and Shenoah Grove run a couple groups here -- the RENC and REIA events. https://houstonrenc.com/It's down near the Galleria, so a bit of a drive from Spring.

So, i'm about to start my all out marketing campaign towards motivated sellers, even knocking on driving for dollars some, but i started thinking about the aftermath of the deal for the seller.

I'm very interested in using a 203K FHA loan for financing the purchase, and rehab of a property that I would move into... and drive up the equity... eventually leveraging the increased equity to refinance & invest forward... or outright sell and invest forward.Is it possible to find a deal that matches my house hunting criteria from a wholesaler, and use a 203K loan to do the purchase? 

Usually the sellers lender factors those in the calculations for the short sale, but sometimes the buyer will have to pay some or all of those..
