New So. Fla. investor (and title agent)

Hello all!

New BP member here looking to connect with other South Florida real estate investors and professionals. 

I currently own two rental properties and looking for at least one more before the end of the year. My goal is to have at least 10 properties within the next 4 and 1/2 years. I got into real estate to diversify my investment strategy. I've learned a ton of information over the last 9 months just by listing to the BP podcast and doing a ton of reading. 

If any member ever has a question about insurance claims or a closing, do not hesitate to reach out.

 Hi Daniel, welcome to BP such an amazing resource. Great way to connect and network. That is a great goal to have 10 properties, are you looking primarily in South Florida?

Welcome to BP @Daniel Alvarez! It sounds like you are on the right track. Are your current rentals in Florida? Is that where you are looking to acquire more?

@Dan Barli yes, my properties are both in South Florida, Miami specifically. And yes, I'm looking to buy more in the area. Since this is a true side business for me and I don't want to leave my legal practice anytime soon, I'm going to focus on local properties.

Welcome, @Daniel Alvarez! Seems like your experience as a title agent will be a huge benefit as you continue on this journey - and you'll be a great addition to the forums with that expertise!

So glad you're already plugged into the podcast - it's been a huge source of education and inspiration for me and my husband in our REI careers.

Best of luck to you in achieving your goals and I look forward to following your journey!
