Guidance on my first Real Estate

Alberto Bustillo
Posted

I'm 21 and I'm looking for cashflow opportunity. I have money saved that I can use for real estate but I have been going through analysis paralysis for a whole year and I don't know what to do I really need some guidance. I live in Orlando Florida I've always heard good things about doing Airbnbs here maybe a duplex, or just buying my own house. idk what would be the best to start me the most to start out

@Alberto Bustillo

I am a Realtor, Investor, Property Manager in The Tampa, Florida area.  I work in Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco Counties.  Congrats on trying to get the ball rolling at your age...I did the same thing when I started out 11 years ago (much older than you) lol.  If you have the opportunity to house hack, just to get your feet wet, is a great way to start.  You gain trust with contractors and other professionals in the field.  I think that your idea of a four plex is a great idea.  Live in one rent 2 and rehab 1.  Then rent back out at a higher price once rehabbed.  As far as short term rentals go...I have a client that does really well in Davenport.  Just a thought...But, again, congrats!!!!  I wish I would have started at your age!!!!....Best of Luck!!!
