I live in Orlando, but I am familiar with Jacksonville and wouldn't mind investing there. 

Collin -Go on HomeAway, VRBO and/or Airbnb and look at the calendars of comparable short term rental vacation home properties in the area of the home you are considering purchasing.Here in the Orlando area, the nightly rates and occupancy %s for homes that are new or newly renovated with fun amenities are significantly higher compared to those that need renovating and offer limited fun amenities.

Hello folksI have a question about a payment claim I received through a law firm representing Hoa, Orlando, Florida , villa's costa del sol A payment that was allegedly not paid in time (actually paid to the management company that collects the funds for the hoa)At the same time, the hoa company was not updated that the payment was made and transferred a demand for collection by a law firm.I turned to the management company (everything is recorded in emails that the payment was made, etc.)I turned directly to hoaThey claim that they can not do anything because the matter is already handled by lawyers.And if I wanted to sue their management company.I turned to the lawyers (every call to them is subject to an astronomical fee, the management company that manages the properties for me,In fact, unknowingly, inflated the debt when they tried to find out what it was about and why the whole mess?

I see you're from Orlando I just attended a meet up in Los Angeles where a turn key provider with a resort called The Grove was presenting opportunities to purchase some vacation rental condo/ hotel rooms.

thinking about possibly looking around the orlando area due to my brother living there and going into this with me.

I plan to start looking into the Jacksonville, Orlando & Tampa Bay Areas.

We already have a partner in Orlando, FL, and we will be doing this in that region (probably Lakeland, Weston etc.).At the begining we will be using our own money, but I got really interested in the BRRRR method.

I recently went to the mortgage convention in Orlando and they recommended this site.

However, I also have no problem going on a nice vacation to Orlando with my GF, or spending $100-$200 per weekend on drinks and nice dinners with friends.

Orlando has definitely spoiled us.
