Unfortunately FSBO sites are on the wane around here and kijiji is the classified site of choice for my area and most FSBOs don't include their phone number...and I absolutely hate the internal messaging system.So in the next few weeks (once winter finally lets go!)

We gutted it and have been renovating since Winter 2015.I'm currently making approximately 40% of my tiny income writing.

Hi Everyone,We have just bought out first property in Winter Garden Florida (we are living in it) and we are focused on acquiring more single family homes for rental investment as quickly as possible.We are looking for homes around the 100k mark and doing the usual 20% off the listed price and ideally with no closing costs.We have read a few books, got numerous audio CD's and are ravenous for more info so thought this site would be a great start.Would love to meet up with other investors in the area, especially those with a similar target market.Oh and we are Australian :-)CheersRic and Alyssa

Hi,I Am A New Member Winter Haven Florida.Interested in purchasing and renting 5 single family rental homes in Winter Haven FL throwing off a combined $2500/month ($30,000/year)  in cash with a cash investment of $175000 (down payments & rehab).

Chicago Heights and Park Forest.

I gave it up, because both property management and vacation rentals requires a license in Florida, and there are high taxes about 12% that you have to pay... although private owners frequently do not follow the rules when renting to friends and family.One day soon, I will winter over in Florida and get it going again.

Hello @Forest Selby and let me be the first to welcome you to BP.

Got to love the middle east winters and the thaw that follows.  

I have replanted well over 10,000 acres of ORegon Forest land and probably close to one million tree's  LOL... yes we had to replant.. and yes I can walk through a timber patch and tell if there is money there or not...

It's also where the rain forest is, and the bio bay, and a lot of your other major tourist draws - but there aren't a lot of places to stay.
