Have you looked at Nevada? 4th lowest property taxes, no state income tax, landlord friendly, close to Utah, tech and manufacturing job growth. Great appreciation market.  

Bradley,

Do you have any recommendations for the top zip codes in Nevada to invest in SF propies below the median with potential for cash flow?

I reside in Utah. I am considering investing in or near Orlando, Florida, in a Single Family Property, below the median in a high demand area where there are lots of people moving to. I have less than a decade worth of Real Estate Investing experience. I have multiple properties under Lease Contracts at this time, and am looking to grow my portfolio in the top markets in the United States. Looking to build a solid and reliable team to help me out. Any suggestions for locations are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!


Hey Jared, I live in Orlando and work for a LTR PM company that services all of Central Florida. I agree with Shawn, while expensive in some areas, it is not saturated for LTRs in Central Florida given the migration data. Ocala and Palm Bay are two areas that are a little saturated because many investors have been buying in those areas, but generally speaking I would say the bigger issue is finding properties that cash flow without a large down payment.  

If you ever need assistance with rental analysis for properties or good areas to look into for rentals, feel free to shoot me a DM, I'd be happy to assist. 

What are your thoughts on Kissimee and Davenport?

My main concerns about Florida include: Chinese Drywall (very toxic; found in older homes); HOA Restrictions; Lots of people/crowds; sinkholes (properties sinking into the ground); Red tide (dead fish found on beaches due to algae bloom); Homeowners Insurance costs (w/older roofs); Mold; Hurricanes/Flooding , New construction (not always built to quality)... these are the most common issues found in the Florida market.

What zip codes would you recommend for a single family investment property under 300k to mitigate these concerns?
