Hi, I'm Carol and new to the BiggerPockets community

[Carol AldridgeGlover]

i took an early retirement after 25+ years in sales and marketing for a Fortune 500 company. I recently received my Florida real estate sales associates license, which I hope will be useful as an investor.

I am located in South Florida (Ft. Lauderdale area) and I have been a commercial real estate investor since 2005 with properties located outside of Florida. However, I am interested in diversifying my real estate investments  into residential buy and flip. My goal initially is to turn about 5-6 properties annually. Since residential investing is new to my real estate experiences, I want to learn more about the following:

• Financing options for investors beyond traditional bank lending.
• Sources to find great residential investment properties 
• Recommendations on building the right team of partners to engage in the flip process

I am very excited about growing my investor network in South Florida.
