New RE Investor looking to connect with South Florida professionals and investors

[Denys Gonchar]

Good day everyone, 

I'm a 34 year old entrepreneur and accredited investor, looking to start building wealth through acquisition of residential properties. 

My real estate knowledge is limited to a purchase of my primary SFH, facilitating a full remodel side-by-side with a GC, as well as countless hours of BiggerPockets educational material.

As far as my investing strategy, I'd like to focus on BRRRR. LTR if CoC is at least 10%. Otherwise, STR. Rinse, repeat and scale.

Down the road, I'd like to shift focus to multifamily 5+ units but as a newbie don't feel comfortable investing $1M+ of my funds in the same building.

Currently, my main challenges are identifying a market and finding a mentor:

-Market: It seems to be rather difficult to find cash-flowing LTR properties in the South Florida market, so most likely I'd have to focus on long-distance investing or local and STR. I'm open to both as long as it meets my requirements.

-Mentor: I'd like to find or perhaps even hire a seasoned RE investor to mentor me through my first few properties as well as help establish a team. The good news is that I love constructive feedback, have a healthy risk-tolerance, and I've allocated roughly $800K liquid cash to leverage and purchase properties.

I quickly realize that its a networking business, so I'm looking forward to connecting with professionals and experienced investors locally and online. :)

Best,

Denys

I am an agent for an investment brokerage located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL named Aurumys. We contract 3-5 distressed properties per week in the tri-counties of Dade/Broward/Palm Beach. We get single family, condo, and some multi-family properties. I'm looking serious buyers such as yourself and connect with you. So, when new properties are released you will be the first to know!
