I am a local Realtor® in Orlando and work closely with builders in Orlando.

I’m looking for an AI program that specializes in local markets to make sure I’m setting markets rents appropriately.

Networking with local professionals and leveraging value-add opportunities can significantly boost your returns.

So if your getting a warranty from Lennar or DR horton thats one thing if its a local builder that you really dont know their financial strength you need to take that into consideration.

Translating passive real estate losses into active ones can be good for a while, but then you have the active gains on exit at the end.

In addition, active residential RE is not passive even if using a PM.  

My understanding is the 10% down loans have tightened up and are much more difficult to get.Start with banks you already do business with and local credit unions.I have used Associated Credit Union and Rocket mortgage.

Are either of you active duty or a veteran who is eligible for a VA loan?

There is a guy already that removes trash and moves coins around from machines etc, but the seller lives locally when it comes to taking the cash to the bank for deposits. 

My first real estate investment was in Syracuse NY in 2005.I relocated to Augusta, Georgia in 2006 to learn with a multi-family investor/mentor.And then in 2009, I founded Auben Realty, which has grown from a small local shop to a regional presence with current locations in Chattanooga, TN, Columbia, SC, Greenville, Atlanta, Charlotte and Jacksonville.Recently, Auben purchased a property management company in Kansas City to begin our Midwest expansion.
