@Johnnie SchneiderMy advice is to first establish your boots on the ground.

We have an established partnership LLC as personal trainers (since 2019), and we are looking to take advantage of our good standing with the credit union we bank at.

I primarily flip homes in central Missouri but plan to move to PHX soon and want to establish some monthly income.

I know I have a lot to learn. 

I know it may be a lot to explain so if you have any book suggestions, online readings or podcast that can explain in simple terms I would love to hear those as well.

We established some other criteria like “are there multiple strategies?”

Orlando can be a great place to invest and has a well established community to network with and lean on.

I still have a lot to learn but I figured the sooner I jump in, the better.

Ultimately, appraisers have a large amount of discretion in determining difference in build quality and layout, but keep in mind they're doing all of this from MLS pictures and property appraiser information, so those differences aren't always immediately discernibleThe Gator Cir area of Cape Coral is seeing a lot of development right now, and it has huge appreciation potential with some of the lowest lot prices, but I personally would recommend trying to find something a bit further South, closer to Pine Island Rd, where demand has already been well-established, unless you're willing to take the bigger risk

I would be leery of buying an established Airbnb.
