I have been investing in Miami Dade County area, so i can't talk for the rest of FL that is a different beast, county by county, so I give you my point of view of Miami.The key point is which type condo are we talking about: newer >2010 condo, old condos, in key growth areas or not.Data, as always, speaks: condo sales ares slowing down, overall Miami is close to be a Buyer market overall (it is already a Buyer's market in many zip codes...), while appreciation is on average +5.5YoY.

It's not bad to take it slow.

And while the Fed is trying to suck money out of the system, progress is slow, and when money supply grows faster than GDP the value of the currency has to adjust.  

Sometimes my Dad tells me that I need to slow down, maybe I should take his advice.

If you were looking to hold, you MIGHT be able to pull off something closer to those numbers but you'll see slow appreciation and most likely be in a C-class area, which means more pro-active management. 

So some of the strategies others have expressed here have their advantages, but they do slow down your ability to grow.

>the reason I am not in favor of semi passive RE investing...I've also slowed down my buying activity a lot over the past couple years.

I'm seeing results that are slow and steady.I'm sorry you initially had a poor experience with SEO Meets REI.

But on the for sale side, its a slow go and last time aruond took almost a year for it to start impacting the market. 

My inability to understand the time it would take doing it myself at the pace I was moving the project forward set me back a few weeks at best; slowing down the turnover and listing it later than I expected.
