As you mentioned, there are several new construction developments close to Disney that target the vacation rental market.

I am looking to get into the REI market either developing or multifamily but need some guidance.  

Or start looking at other strategies and creative financing methods.Maybe you should stick to getting the first one using the House Hack, develop some experience, and review/revise your goals 6 to 12 months after that.

As Rob said you could look around the Carnegie Mellon area, Strip District, by the Almono Development, etc. 

If anyone can also throw in any development they may know of, starbucks, grocery stores.1 Bedroom 6002 Bedroom 700Any input is greatly appreciated!

Question is: If I have identified a property/properties that are good buy and hold investments, should I put an offer in and then ask for a hard money loan, or just show the property and numbers I am interested in to the lender, and then try to get the offer accepted?

Identify a budget for investing that you can sustain for at least 6-12 months to gauge success/failure.6.

Many here may be familiar with appraised value but the bank may have asked an appraiser to develop a market price with a few assumptions.

The speed with which you develop each stage of your plan will flow from then, right?

@Tra'Mell Taylor  @Christopher Blanco I also sent a request your way because insight from a local would be a great help in identifying an area that makes the most sense.
