I hesitate because this plaza had been stagnant for years and this tenant is bringing customers to his cafe which has brought more customers to the other tenants.Do any of you landlords/property managers have cafes that also run fitness or yoga events?

I am just not sure where to start because googling good rental markets in the US brings up a lot of sources.

Yes everyone is different and you bring up a good point about this strategy.  

You have to bring something to the table.

I just paid $2.8m for a property that brings in $23k/month.   

To offset the experience, you should be prepared to bring a little more money to the table. 

the house when finished should bring close to $200 per foot in today's market. 

I would suggest bring up some kind of compensation.

Study them and decide on the one you will be putting all your efforts on.Lastly go ahead and look at the different options you have to start getting involved: Go and work for an established local (or not) that does what you want to do, become a member of an investor club where you can potentially partner up with experienced investors (you need to bring value), start deploying some capital into some passive opportunities to start learning the process, start buying some properties with your own capital and grow from there....I hope this is somewhat helpful.

I know that Orlando brings in between 60-100 million visitors a year and I would like to VRBO or Airbnb the property while I am not using it.
