New investors in Tampa Florida

I have been a property claims adjuster for over 25 years. My daughter, Kristen, after a few trips and falls her first year or two, is now graduating college with straight A's in one month and has taken a very serious interest into home flipping and has actually educated herself substantially. She is also in the process of looking for a home with her fiance.

I am tired of the constant stress of handling claims continuously without ever having a break and receiving little pay for my efforts and am ready to create my own future. My daughter is very intelligent and has a burning desire to move into this type of business and I am blown away with the time and effort she has invested and the amount of information she has already learned. She is now educating me quite a bit. We both  believe that with her ability to find, analyze and identify the good deals along with my ability to walk into a property and identify any potential problems as well as costs associated with repairing it, I believe we have a good combination to start on this track. Additionally, I have a home that is completely paid for in a very expensive part of town which we expect to sell very soon, which will give us the financial backing to make a good start. Now we just need to start. However, we intend to educate ourselves as much as we can in order to minimize the amount of mistakes new investors can make when first starting out. Therefore, before starting, we are performing substantial research to assist us with this endeavor. I believe that we both have the mindset and the desire that we need to do this and will be very successful.

We also believe that a site like this will be a valuable resource as we begin our journey into this new phase of our lives and we both look forward to learning from the experiences other members have had that will help us to avoid the common mistakes that others have made in the past and are excited about interacting with other individuals as we move forward with our new endeavor.
