New Real Estate Investor

[Shira Ellsworth]

Hello I am new to real estate investing, I am looking for deals and I am looking to connect with other real estate investors and real estate agents that are investor-friendly.  Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Hi @Shira Ellsworth, I recommend reaching out to @Judson Osbon. He is a real estate investor and also a real estate investor focused agent in the Orlando area. I have worked with him on a few deals in the past and highly recommend him! He is also a very likable person. I hope this recommendation helps you!

Hi @Shira Ellsworth, welcome to the BP Forums!  I see you’re here in Orlando.  What category of real estate are you interested in?  I would be happy to sit down with you over a cup of coffee and discuss Orlando real estate and how we can get you going.  

[John Landskroener]

I would love to chat. I have connections with realtors, contractors/vendors, and property management companies in Orlando and have experience with all of that myself. I'd love to connect and help you out!

@Shira Ellsworth Welcome to BP. You can utilize the 'find an agent' at the very top of the page and/or search members by location too. I would recommend joining one of our local REIA's to meet and network with local investors/trades etc. I am a long time member of CFRI and have found it very helpful.

Best of luck, let me know if you need anything else!

Welcome, everyone started somewhere! I'm a licensed Realtor here in Orlando, covering all of central FL. 

I focus specifically on distressed, fixer-upper properties that most investors are looking for. I work with clients who do this for their livelihood, clients who are just starting, and everyone in between. I have some connections with other investors and lenders also. 

There is a big GOREIA monthly meeting tonight in Altamonte Springs, I believe it's free for first time members. It'd be great to meet you there!

[Shira Ellsworth]

thanks! and thanks to all of you who reached out to me

Hey Shira,

I'd be happy to hop on a call and see how we can help each other in investments. I'm a real estate agent solely working with investors, so i could find you properties that fit your criteria; while on the other side learn and help you flip it or rent it.

I look forward to hearing from you!
