Main House & Permitted Efficiency in Lakeland-How Would You Approach This Investment?

[Margaret Hodge]

Hi BP Community! I wanted to share an interesting investment scenario in Lakeland (between Orlando and Tampa) that could be a great fit for someone looking to add strong cash flow to their portfolio.

- **Two separate rental units on one lot**

- Main house: 3 bed, 1 bath (~720 sq ft) could generate about $1200 / mo

- Permitted efficiency: 1 bath, estimated rent for ~$800 / mo

Both units are easy to maintain with a newer roof and wall AC and located in a high-demand rental area. I’m curious how others would approach maximizing returns on a setup like this, or if anyone has experience with similar properties in this market.

If you’re interested in discussing the numbers or potential strategies, feel free to comment or connect!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and collaborating with the BP family!
