This is my first post on BP and I'm excited to see the responses I receive! 

My name is Jared Davis and I am a new real estate investor in the Brevard County, Florida area. Two months ago I started an LLC and acquired a 2/2 condo in Cocoa Beach to flip. The full top-down renovation is about 2 weeks out and I hope to have the property listed in 3 weeks to close ASAP. I bought the condo for $76,000 cash and put about $24,000 in renovations into it. As of now, we have a buyer interested in the property for $150,000. My first flip has been incredibly exciting and I can't wait to keep going and learn more about the world of Real Estate Investing.

Also, feel free to share any tips/advice for a rookie investor or insight into the real estate market in Florida!

Good work on your deal.  I have a rehab down in Indialantic, that has been ongoing for several months.  I have done a lot of deals, and always learn something new.  Share your lessons learned, when you have time.

    Hi Jared - are you still flipping properties in Brevard County??  I just saw your story on how you flipped the condo beachside in google.  I live in Merritt Island, and am a newbie with Bigger Pockets.  Wondered if you could recommend a contractor?

    Hi Krystn,
    I've been slowly collecting names of people for different jobs. I don't have a contractor, but my list does have a few people. What job(s) do you seek?
