New Melbourne Port St Lucie Investor!

[Zach P.]

Hey everyone. I just discovered this forum which looks like an excellent place to meet new people, discuss ideas, and ask questions!  So far I have 3 rental properties not including my own home.  My goal is to acquire as many positive cash flow homes as I can for at least the next 10 years. I would not consider myself a full time investor since I work a full time job so for the time being I use a property management company. I've learned a lot already but I'd still consider myself a newbie. I hope to meet new people here and continue to learn as much as I can.  I'm very interested in using leverage to maximize my portfolio that I will continue to build for the next decade.

Welcome. 

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.
