Looking to Connect With Others In Florida With Experience In Creative Financing

Josue Hernandez
  • Miami, Fl
Posted

Hi there, everyone!

I’m still pretty new to real estate investing and am looking to network with other like-minded people in the Miami or general south Florida area (I also travel to the Tampa Bay and Central Florida area somewhat regularly). I’ve been in the food industry most of my life but have always loved real estate. Especially hunting out good and unique deals. I’ve always been drawn by the kind of potential certain overlooked properties can have. Sadly, until recently, I never really went beyond just driving around and dreaming and never really put things into action. I’m trying to change that now.

I just recently started a pretty successful Airbnb in Miami (Bombadil’s Inn), in the midst of the so called Airbnb Bust, and also just bought a house on the coast of Spain that I’m currently preparing for a vacation rental (I also have plans to restore its attached bar into a bar/restaurant). Also, at the moment I’m looking at some very good potential Subject To deals in a couple different areas of Florida but am in need of some hard money in order to structure a worthy offer.

I was wondering if anyone could maybe help point me in the right direction. I’d also really like to be able to meet some like-minded people that I can learn from. I’d be willing to make cold calls, drive around, whatever. Just want to get my foot in the door of the community and learn from other experienced investors, wholesalers, etc.

Hey, Bob. Yes, I've come across a few potentially good deals that I want to try to acquire subject to. One in particular is very unique and would have really exceptional cashflow. A nearby almost identical property to it grosses $130k. It's in amazing condition. The market value is around $450k, at least. Monthly payments are at around $1,500 and equity is $70k. Would need at least around $100k to make the offer in order to pay off equity and agent. Need hard money but the problem is that my only real asset at the moment is out of country. Not sure if a lender would consider a second position on a property with exceptional cash flow. It's just such a great opportunity that I want to at least try to see if I can figure something out.

As for my property in Spain it's in the north in a region called Asturias. Found a deal I just couldn't pass up. Simultaneous ocean and mountain views with a walking path to a hidden beach on three acres just 15 min from town and 25 min from the City. Attached to the house is also an old bar I want to revive as soon as I have the funds. Couldn't have found a better deal, to be honest. There's a short video of the property on my youtube channel linked to in my profile.

Hey Josue, sounds like you're doing really well. We work specifically in the STR financing space and I can PM you about some options that might work for you.

Josue,

I might be interested in the opportunity you're talking about at $100k.  I'm in Orlando but looking for some opportunities around the state and have cash if the deal is structured well.  Message me and let's talk it through.

 Hey Luis, I'd like to check out that meet up in Miami as well. I am also an investor up in Broward and could definitely learn more. When is the next event?

 I'm an agent here in Central Florida for the JW Luxury Group and we come across a ton of great deals. I'd love to assist you in your search! 


 It would have to be incredibly good as I get 20% net caps in my market 

thank you
