@David Paez Hi David, you have probably seen that Lakeland, FL is a popular investment city these days, some of the reasons for this is that Polk County/Lakeland is ideally located centrally to Orlando and Tampa, we have many warehouses strategically located throughout Polk County, to include warehouses for Amazon, IKEA, RoomsToGo, PepsiCo and Publix which make this area strategic for distribution throughout Florida, something else worth mentioning Amazon is building one of their major Air Hubs at the Lakeland Airport, they will be taking over 47 acres to service their planes, not to mention Publix is headquartered in Lakeland, and we also have a large presence for Coca Cola bottling and Juices in Auburndale, FL which is about 10-20 min from Lakeland.Lakeland is also home to the yearly SUN 'n FUN held in April, which is Florida's largest annual convention, which spans over 6 days on 2200 acres, and it has been recorded to have had a $64 Million direct and indirect economic impact on the I-4 corridor (From Tampa to Orlando). https://www.flysnf.org/about/I have been investing since 2002, and my investments are mainly in Lakeland, Bartow, Auburndale and Winter Haven, I also like Lake Wales and Haines City, there is good population growth, and high demand for workers in these areas, of course keep in mind we are in a pretty descent economy right now, whatever you look at, make sure the numbers make sense, and if you purchase something, leave enough room for an economic downturn, I see many outside investors purchasing at higher than normal prices, because the prices seem cheap compared to other markets close to Lakeland, but this can become a trap if the market shifts in a negative direction.I would be glad to help you with your search

Property is 3-2 bedrooms and 1-4 bedroom unit in the Rumford / N Spring St area of Concord.As far rentals are going, looking online at Zillow, MLS, Craigslist, Apartments.com, etc.

Studio City/North Hollywood near Sherman Oaks.  

I just did a South Loop investment condo we shopped rates with a bunch of lenders and Landon Hoon with A&N Mortgage had the best rate.

Definitely smart to take high retail money or w-2 money from your extra over priced market and pick up a 1%'er, light rehab in any of the markets mentioned..I did that with DC money to Raleigh and N Florida.The turn key, though attractive would not fit me, JWB here is excellent tear down, rebuild, property manager, 3 year lease guarantees, you get a new product, but I think its a way too high above the arv.  

I'll look up Mr Teel for sure.Also looking forward to seeing all the movers n shakers here in TX.

Are you thinking fix n flip, buy and hold, or something else?

Possible Fix-n-Flip opportunity.

To each their own but this deal would not even be worth looking up in n Zillow to me .
