Hi - Looking to connect with wholesalers in the Palm Beach and Orlando area? 

I live in in the Orlando Fl and have 2 sober houses that I own and manage.

@Janet Lancaster,Hey Janet - this is what I would recommend based on current market stats:-TexasNo rent controlFast eviction process (3-day notice)No limits on security deposits or late feesNo state income taxHigh population and job growth, including Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio-FloridaNo rent control, quick evictions (3-day notice)No limits on fees or security depositsModerate property taxes, no state income taxStrong immigration, especially in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando - OhioClear eviction rules (3-day notice)No rent caps or deposit limitsAffordable real estate, strong cash flow potential in Midwest markets like Canton, Dayton, and Cleveland suburbs -AlabamaNo rent control, fast eviction timelines (7–14 days)Very low property taxes (~0.4%)Huge investor activity (second highest home sales to investors in Q1 2025) and downtown rehab opportunities -Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, MissouriStrong landlord laws, low taxes, and fewer regulatory hurdlesThese states continue to rank in the top 7–15 for landlord protections and rental demand Why These States Stand Out:Fast eviction procedures and flexible lease enforcement protect rental incomeNo rent control laws in most of these states allows rent adjustments with market shiftsLow property and income tax rates improve returns and reduce carrying costsStrong employment and population growth support rental demand and appreciationBonus options like South Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky, or Arkansas also show potential for landlord-friendly policies and population influx If you're focused on long-term cash flow, tenant protection, and scalability, then states like Texas, Florida, Ohio, Alabama, and Georgia are among your best bets for 2025.Happy to always chat more!

Unfortunately in Orlando this is complicated by county laws which do not allow STR's (under 30 day rentals) unless you also occupy the home.
