I have 20K looking to invest in Miami FL area any recommendation?

[Jimmy Francois]

Hello everyone, I am a first time buyer looking to purchase an owner occupied duplex in Miami. I have 20k available and plan to go 3.5% fha for down payment. I’m looking to grab something in the city if I can, but does anyone have recommendations of up and coming neighborhoods outside of the city that may be more cost effective/does anyone recommend trying to wait the market out?

Thanks, Jimmy

@Tasbeeh Corporan-Francois hello welcome to BP. Pretty much everywhere in south Florida is increasing its productivity rate. Everyday more and more construction is being done. It’s getting expensive and market values are rising rapidly with all the rehab jobs that are being done.

Another key factor is the US biggest mall is being built in south Florida and should be completed by 2025. I don’t think I need to mention that, that alone will increase jobs and the market as well. Now is a perfect time to purchase a duplex, triplex, quadriplex or any multifamily for that part.

Although you must do your due diligence before taking someone’s word just know I’ve been living in south Florida for a very long time and understand that I’ve seen the market go from bad to good in a very lengthy time.

Good luck on your endeavors!
