First deal in northern Florida with future economic outlook

[Mariano Mossburg]

The correct location is Gainesville, Florida.  

Here comes another first-deal advice post!

 Time to get the first property out of the way! I'm leaning toward a house hack to get more familiar with the process and build my network in the area. In other words, a first deal with training wheels. My main criteria are finding a property where value can be built by me renovating, building that extra room etc... My main goal for this deal is to put me in a position of strength for the second deal. I am in no rush. The uglier the better. The economic outlook is uncertain and interest rates are high, but people just can't stop moving to Florida. 

Excited to join the community with this first post and contribute any knowledge I have to help others.
