Now I have to figure out how we an afford it while hiring help.

Truth be told, It's really one of the only areas I can afford to invest in.

But on the note of acting quick, I have definitely heard more than once that you really can't afford hesitation or fear of evicting.

I’m pretty sure that there are a number of drivers out there that hate the little silver sedan that abruptly yanks over to the side of the road...Sometimes I forget to signal - if I have scared you, I am sincerely sorry.It’s just that I have moments of brilliance (or so I think)… and I can’t afford to let them slip into the Bermuda Triangle that is the back of my head.

Affordable housing is a huge issue in Orlando, and it seems unlikely that rents will continue to rise at their current rates.

We found couple options that can help us afford our first property.

I was surprised at the price of housing; even units close to the university were affordable.

And I'm living for free so that's an extra 1500/mo in my pocket until I can afford to get my second property.

When I was initially trying to sort this all out it was really frustrating as I felt like it was highly unlikely that I needed to recreate the wheel, so to speak, as it didn't seem like such a unique situation. 

I live in SW Florida and, while there are affordable properties just north of where I live, I just don't know if there is a large enough rental population in order to get the "best bang for my buck".
