Newbie to Orlando, FL as Long Distant Investor

Dan Chern

Hi, I am doing a 1031 exchange and am considering purchasing a rental in the Orlando market. I have family in the area and I typically visit once a year, so thought it would make sense to make part of my trip as a business expense. 

My question is where is the best area/towns/zips for rentals? I'm looking for a combination of cash flow and appreciation. Would a STR be better than a LTR in Orlando?

I am also looking for a realtor and property management company. 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi Dan, I have done many 1031 exchanges here in the Orlando area.  If you don't have a company your using for 1031 exchange already I would recommend @davefoster he is on bigger pockets and he is who I use. I do long term investing buy and hold so I can't comment on the short term stuff.  If your still looking for a agent/property manager I can help so let me know anytime.
