A little experience, but by no means an expert in Orlando, FL

[Camille Reynolds]

Hello BiggerPockets!

I flipped a couple of properties years before the 2007-2008 downturn, but did it while working a full time job. I had a great contractor and we worked almost like partners.I learned a lot from him and did a lot of the demo and some repairs under his supervision. He’s since passed away, and I continued to work full-time for a few years. Now I’ve decided to jump out there and begin investing full time.

Things seem very different from when I did those three properties. I feel like a novice in a very aggressive industry, but I’m looking forward to where this takes me. 

Thanks for any advice you want to share.

Camille,

One quick piece of advice. When you join our local REIAs, make sure you leave your credit card at home the first several months,  as you will be confronted with a lot of information and training for sale,  much of which you can learn as you go along for free.

To your success.
