What If I am able to get them tenants stabilize, will they lend for me to renovate them? 

I am located at Central Florida area, and I believe that even with the high prices, higher interest rates and huge supply of real state down here, still out here many great opportunities.The market still hot, we just need to adjust the approach..... at least are my guts feelings.v/r

I guess what I probably need as a mentor because the more I think about it, the more inexperienced I am, in all this.

It's just a matter of finding them.Other options would be finding a full service co-host and negotiating something with them to take a smaller commission (or salary) to just handle that part of it. 

@Dennis O'Loughlinsorry if I am not understanding but... it sounds like most of these options are just using debt to take out more debt. 

I am looking to make my first step into real estate investing in a year two by building a new duplex in the Lehigh acres area of Florida.

I am a Realtor and have a seller that has an assumable loan, but that still leaves $300K between the balance and the sales price.

I guess I am in the wrong so my bad on this.Perhaps I am coming from a perspective of a conventional strategy where banks  barely interact with their borrowers and treat them like a statistic on their Excel spreadsheet - again my bad on this.

Ensure 90% of tenants meet preferred criteria.Target Audience:Ideal tenants are clean, responsible, and sociable single professionals, students (with co-signers), and military personnel.

Perhaps I am wrong from the news clippings.
