I personally like Kissimmee because it can be very lucrative but it can be a difficult market - you'd have to knock the design and amenities out of the park, because if you don't, there are thousands of rentals that do and you'll fall to the wayside.

Several of the founders are personal contacts and I know several advisors on their boards. 

Trying to build out that dream team of contractors and subs as well.A mentor would also be super helpful, but like I said, still building out that network.As far as my personal situation, I have a good credit score, a decent amount of savings (200k cash) and a little more than that in investment accounts along with some equity in my current home, a mortgage, and car payments.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has a person or firm in mind that I could reach out to, I'd be grateful. 

Fight through fear and watch yourself grow.

I am not advocating one over the other, it is a personal choice, as much as indicating likely reality  Good luck

I have seen it in Arlington....one place super unusual, like almost two full houses on a lot that really should support only 1.I think your first step is to go in person to Planning and Zoning office...with your information and idea of what you want to do and see if they give you a warm or cold reception. 

Restrictions are only getting tighter and id personally avoid.

The house had way more potential in person than the mls photos showed.I know the market well here. 

He has watched and superficially participated since birth but has not acquired certain knowledge.
