Thanks a lot, Henry!

Over the years, however, we’ve found that we end up coming down to Orlando quite a lot, especially in the last couple of years, and we end up staying in vacation rentals (Reunion, Championsgate, Storey Lake typically).I would love to simply pull equity from the current property but given that it’s a long term rental and we are Canadians, from what we understand it’s not an option for us.we love reunion but I feel that would probably not be the best for ROI.  

When you want coaching, you sign up for and pay for coaching in the niche you want to crush in and you shouldn't do that until you have tried a decent amount on your own, gone to meetups for a year, and figured out what you want to do first.Wholesale coaching is out there, but there are a lot of charlatans.

There are also a lot of people out there that will hate on getting coaching, some due to the bad actors I mentioned, but some due to a commitment to do everything themselves.

I've listened to a lot of BP podcasts and other real estate youtubers, but most of those people invest in places where real estate prices are 3 or 4x what they are here.

That helps some...but your variable expenses also go up too - property insurance & taxes - so a lot of your rent increases go to offset rising variable expenses.I started at the age of 47 in 2018 and we bought properties fast and furious - 12 the first year, 10 the next, and 9 in 2021 and currently have 38 properties. 

A lot of the basis of my position on this can be described as “gut feel”.  

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

A lot depends on your entry price and instant equity. 

It takes a lot of trust.
