Most of the properties I have been looking at are apartments and a fee houses (3bedroom & 2 bathroom or 2 bed; 2 batg)One of the common cons about investing in Orlando is the high crime rate, which has me second guessing but I feel the pros outweighs the consI am hoping to find a deal and close before 2019 ends.

He said that it was not likely that the appraiser would consider the renovations to have much value, as they were only cosmetic, even though the sales comps in the neighborhood on similar units (same bed/bath, sq ft) supported the $270K ARV.That surprised me as I thought the appraiser would just be using the sales comps in the neighborhood to determine the fair market value, not my acquisition costs and the cost of my renovations.

The benefit of a vacation rental in this area really depends on the strength of the marketing skills (photography too), the number of nights the owner plans on staying at the property and whether or not you can self-manage.Closer proximity to the beach and the number of beds will be the basis for what you can charge.

As living in Sarasota and my home is in a B+ area I plan to next year buy us a 3+ bed second home and rent this one out.

With that said the market for 6+ bed near Summit is $700k+.

Try for 3 beds / 2 ba to max guest capacity. 2/1 can be ok in the right location.Cheers & good luck ! 

The 3 beds rent for 650 a month and the 1 beds go for 450I have a few reservations about it.

Maybe r  2 bed units u5p sq ft. 

It actually is a duplex. 3 bed 1 bath approximately 1500 sq feet per unit. 

The house sits on 1 acre and is a 3 bed/1 bath in a quiet and safe neighborhood just outside my hometown.
