We purchased our package back in November and regret it immensely.

Hi everyoneI am a South African moving to Grand Cayman for 18 months for work in December, and I am without a doubt planning to diversify into US real estate during my time there.I am currently considering Florida, as it is the closest / most readily accessible state from the island, and more specifically Orlando or Tampa.In that regard, could anyone possibly shed some light on the following, as well as any other useful info you may have re these areas? 

At the risk of making a race-based assumption - something else I can't explain is that african american males that I know are either the tenants Mike described that withdraw their applications when they hear I do a background check....or are extremely successful entrepreneurs and investors themselves.I can explain it.

UnderArmour's headquarters are also based in Baltimore.4) Value - residential properties easily earn 10%-12% year 1 (for those who know the areas best) and the high cap rate is driven by the immense demand for rental housing.

Take a temporary job with a contractor so you can learn what goes into home repairs which will help you immensely when estimating repair costs.

Checklists help immensely for making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
