Hi Jens,
Orlando is quite vast. Have you thought about what part of Orlando you are interested?
What types of community features are you looking for? Regular or Luxury?
What price range are you interested in?
Don't forget along with the initial asking price, you should know about the taxes and Home Owners Association fees, which can turn out to be very high depending on which one you are interested in.
Are you ok with stairs? If so, would you consider a townhome? You may not want to deal with having a neighbor above you (making noise). Plus a lot of condos are condo converstion aka apartments turned into "condos".
Viewing properties online is a start, but I would recommend speaking to a real estate consultant who will guide you in the right direction and email you properties that are great deals as they come on the market (saving you time and stress).
If you'd like to receive properties sent to you at no obligation, please take a look:

Make it a great day!
