Experienced NYS investor new to Florida

[Jay Kiehn]

Hi,

I am an experienced multifamily investor that is relocating from central New York to Florida. I am going to join a REIA down there and wonder which ones are good. Also what area is the best for rehabbing properties? I hear good things about Daytona Beach and Miami. I cant wait to get down there and explore the different markets!!! I am new to BP but love the site and all the info available. I currently left my "job" as a finance director to pursue this full time, I have little cash to invest so I will also need to find some great private/hard money lenders that want to profit with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very excited for the journey.

Thanks,

Jay K

I am leaving to try my hand at investing full time. The reason I am switching states is TAXES. I have had about enough of New York. I live close to Utica (about 40 miles east of Syracuse). Thank you very much for the encouragement. It is a big step for me to go and try it full time with limited funds.

@Steve Smith

Thank you very much for the info. I will look into it when I arrive in Fl.

Does anybody know of good private/hard money lenders in Fl?
