I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and I'm working on Brandon Turner's book (The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down).   

I like the flexibility to where a typical cycle top to bottom is about 10 years so my clients can pick and choose when they want to sell or refi versus a 5 year might not be the right time to refi or sell.I am also NOT a fan of the 5+5 five year loans from banks UNLESS they will give a ceiling for years 6 to 10.

Which I wouldn't normally have a bone to pick with. 

(The condos we were rehabbing were for buy and hold and we picked these up for $15k-$50k.

Like many people, I started with Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad."

But, more importantly, the unit was in poor condition and I didn't think anyone should have been living there. 

Have a rental in Panama City FL, picked up a lot on MS tax forfeited lands.

With all that said, welcome to the community and great choice not only deciding to invest in real estate, but also picking Orlando as a potential fit to do so. 

Past that, i'd say it's all about picking a marketing and making connections.

I just want to pick the brains of some smart investors out there who've been doing this way longer than I have.
