A new flipper in town 🐬
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.
As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.
My main goal for this year is to fix and flip at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.
At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.
It's so amazing to know this community exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.
Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.
I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.
You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.
Best of luck though.
