Advice On Getting Started

HEY THERE EVERYBODY!!

My name is Abigail (Abby), and I’m an MI realtor looking to begin my real estate investing career. My goal is to buy properties in both Florida and Michigan so that I can escape the cold MI winter and hot FL summers.

I’m having a bit of paralysis when it comes to actually pulling the trigger on any deals. And, I’m not sure which direction to go in first. I’m a huge fan of the multi-family model of investing and would like to eventually build up to owning apartment complexes.

I’ll be very upfront and honest- I have about $20,000 saved for a down-payment/closing costs. But, in today’s world, I’m very unsure of how much is enough before sealing the deal on a place. Not to mention, where should I buy first? Somewhere in MI that cashflows to eventually buy in FL? Or, reverse that? Any/all advice is welcome!

If you would like to connect further, feel free to message me! Can’t wait to meet some of you guys!

Abby
