Hello from Tampa, Florida!

[Robert Aurie]

Hey Everyone! 

My name is Robbie Aurie, coming from Tampa, FL.

Originally from Tampa, grew up in Maine and have been back down here for 6 years. Got my bachelors at USF in business marketing. Worked for a digital marketing startup for a year and a half before deciding to move into real estate.

Goals:

Build a professional network that allows me to help my buyers while also grow my own real estate portfolio.

My sister owns a couple rentals in St. Pete that I've helped out with. Eventually looking to partner with her and her business partner on some properties, most likely buy and hold. 

While I currently live in the Brandon area, I'd like to buy and move into a duplex / multi-unit property in Tampa or near downtown St. Pete. 

I just got my real estate license a month ago and have started wholesaling. I provide my network of investors with a private list of 10 - 15 off-market single family investment properties around the greater Tampa Bay area each month.

I also buy properties in any condition.

Between my colleagues and I, we have quite a network of contacts to provide as a resource to you. 

I'd like to connect with everyone and see how we can do business!

HI Robert I am a wholesaler in Orlando and can help you with your search for properties. I currently have many properties in the Tampa area. Also I have quite a few investors looking for properties in Tampa. I'm sure we can do business helping each other. I looked at your profile and the webpage you listed does not work. What is your email and phone #?

Hi Robert,

Own a home inspection company here.  Building a network myself.  You know the number one reason to use a home inspector is, well....let's be honest, because a bank or insurance company is making you do it.  May as well be someone awesome.  :-)  Shooting you a connection.

Welcome! I'm looking at investing in Tampa in the near future as well and my wife is a USF alumni also. Welcome to BP and enjoy the wealth of knowledge on here!

Robert Aurie , I was looking at your profile and had a question for you. Do you only work with people looking for hard money or do you work with people who will get traditional loans as well?

[Robert Aurie]

Thank you for the welcomes everyone! Adam we usually only sell to buyers using cash or hard money. Buyers using traditional loans are looked at on a case to case basis. What can happen is the buyer uses hard money and then refinances with a traditional loan. 

[Adam L.]

I can understand that. This would be my first investment deal and I'm not sure how sold I am on using hard money on my first deal yet. Maybe it's just because it's new territory for me so I guess we will see. Ha ha. Thanks for the reply @Robert Aurie.
