Florida Keys Newbie

[Alex Palma]

Moving to the Florida Keys, specifically the Island of Marathon.

Looking at connecting with other investors.

We (wife and I) are a team of 2.5, including our Chocolate lab Tarpon. We are focusing at buying and holding, specifically long term rentals. Trying to stay away from short term/vacation rentals and water homes (to volatile & expensive) But would always consider if the numbers are right.

About Us:

Wife is a licensed realtor and I’m a traveling ER physician.

I have purchased and flipped at least 6 homes in the past and wholesaled 2, prior to med-school 17 yrs ago.

Looking at realistically buying 1-2 properties per year.

Prefer to buy at a discount, repair, refinance and repeat.

Goal: provide a solution to a housing sparse market, while establishing a long term retirement plan for ourselves.

Not looking for a “quick-rich” solution.

I do like long walks on the beach, good bourbon/whiskey and sushi.

I am self proclaimed professional fish-feeder, because I love to fish but fail at catching.

Hopefully all my talents are hidden in real estate.

Any other liked or non-like minded individuals out there?
