Great decision on your part! I congratulate you for making the right decision by going in to house hacking mode. I am a REA unfortunately I don't cover the areas you are describing above. However, you should have no problem finding the right agent/realtor who can help you find the right property for you.
One advice, if I were you, I will be thinking about the right neighborhood where I want to live. Who do want next, below or above you? What is has been the appreciation in the property's area in the past three years? Do you want to turn key property or a property that needs some fixing. This information will help your realtor to create the right search in the MLS and hopefully find the property that fits your criteria.
I hope you find some help here in the BP community. Good luck!

I am a real estate agent and I agree with Bob. You can get a good tenant by your own. Although, you can try to hire an agent and compare the experience

@Ylande Blanc I will just have a sincere conversations and try to understand why is he or she thinking in a particular way. You mentioned your buyer wants to rent, then show him or her rentals. If after you explain the advantages of purchasing a property now vs later, the buyer still wants to rent, then show the rentals. If you please him or her, then they will come back in the future looking for you again, and again and again. Good luck.

I will look into the Lake Nona area. This particular area is growing fast and the appreciation is great. If I had the cash, I would get into an apartment and do short term rental. Be aware, before to do so, you need to make sure short rentals are allowed.

@William Givens, I forgot to mention that I watched a lot of videos in Youtube from this channel called "prep agent". I found those videos to be an excellent source of free information.
Good luck!
One more tip, visualize your self walking out of the test place with the document that states you passed the exam.
