New RE Investor - South Florida

[David Wild]

Hello Everyone,

I am relatively new to BP, perusing the forums for the last couple of weeks.  I am based in Palm Beach County, FL and looking to invest in my first rental property in the next few months.  I am married with two sons (4 and 2) and have an appreciation for the financial freedom that real estate investing has provided for so many others.  Every BP podcast I listen to, the answer in the "Famous Four" questioning about other hobbies is almost always spending time with kids, if they have any.

Full time I run a franchise company in West Palm Beach.  If anybody has questions about franchising, or franchise investing, feel free to send me a message.  With my limited RE experience, it is my best way to give back to this great community.

I am currently in the process of refinancing my home to pull out equity and purchase multiple rental properties (duplex to quadplex) and compound the earnings into more properties.  The knowledge I get with every day on BP is more knowledge that I hope to reciprocate with others down the road.

Currently planning to go to the REIA meeting in Boynton on Wednesday. Let me know if you will be there!

@David Wild If you have the time the Broward REIA is really great as well.

Even though its down south many awesome investors and vendors go to that one.

The Palm Beach REIA meets at the ale house on lakes and I have met some great people there as well.

If you need General Contractors, home inspectors, attorneys, accountants, mortgage bankers, etc. in Palm Beach county or I can help in any way let me know.

Hope all is well,

- James
