Iam an investor looking to invest in florida (wich is the place that I live) and i have spotted some neighborhood that I would love to invest but would like some recomendations on it Reason of investing in this places:30-45 min away from me driving so it is pretty closeI had worked around there and always seems to be very good neighborhoods There always seems to be updates on this places THIS ARE THE AREAS I WANT TO INVESTOrlando Florida 32809 zipcodeConway area 32806 zipcodeWinter Garden zipcode ???

The secret was to clean the roof really well, using a good pressure nozzle on a big garden hose.

AirBnB, VRBO, HomeAway, etc completely changed the landscape of the vacation rental space.  

We've recently decided to start including a price list for items needing repair (not normal wear and tear) or replacement that may be typical during a move out to the extent a vacating tenant does not take care of the issues themselves....lawn/landscaping items, bulb replacement, appliance cleaning, wall repair and repaint, fixture repair, etc.

We ended up doubling that amount in 3 months to finish itWe replaced the roof, A/C, re- piped and re-wired the whole house, took out the deck, changed doors and windows, patched dry walls, installed granite counter top, vinyl flooring, landscaping This is what I learnedRehab cost:  don't underestimate.

If those top sold properties have wood floors, granite counter tops, lush landscaping...then your property's SOW also will have wood floors, granite counter tops and lush landscaping or better.If your former real estate broker changed careers and no longer has her license, than her compensation cannot be tied to the sell of the property, but can only be tied to the SOW. 

New plumbing, electrical, demolition,landscaping,drywall, bathroom rehab toilet,pedestal sink, ceramic floor tile and tub and wall surround were completed by me.

Siding, windows, roofing, heat systems, exterior, Interior painting, landscaping, parking lot, new appliances, etc. 

That's assuming the house appreciates in value, the market doesn't take a turn for the worse, or your rental landscape/situation stays good the entire time.

same here. in livonia, garden city, westland, we can rent a house on poslets (now zillow) in matter of days to much more qualified people than Craplist.
