Hello,


I am brand new to BP- looking to invest in rentals and flips. I work for corporate America and looking for an exit strategy as I enter my mid 50s.

    Hey, Paul! Welcome to BP! That’s awesome you’re diving into rentals and flips. I love the FL market and have some projects in Panama City. Let's connect!

    You’ve got this!

    Welcome, Paul! I'm an agent in the Orlando area and happy to be a resource if you ever need one. I left corporate about 4 months ago to do real estate full time. Good luck!

    @Paul Dalton Welcome and congrats on taking the steps to invest in yourself! I serve on the board of our local REIA (Central Florida Realty Investors, CFRI) and this would be a great place for you to network with other local investors. We have about 20 meetings per month on a variety of topics including flipping, investing 101, landlording, multi-family, advanced investors etc.

    Happy to get you a guest pass if you are interested and also be a resource as a Realtor if you need. 

    Best of luck!
