Newbie currently in Clermont, FL

[Shawn Leclair]

Hello all,

I am new to REI, and currently in the research stage. I am trying to learn as much as I can about buy and holds, and managing rentals.

I was a builder/contractor from Ontario Canada. We sold everything to travel full time in an RV. We have been to 40 states and counting. I travel with my wife, our 8 yr old son, and our bulldog Griffin. We would like to start doing more international travel and the need for passive income has lead me back to real estate.

I decided to start doing research in order to avoid making the same real estate investment mistakes I made years ago(Like jumping in with both feet without knowing the ARV🤦).

I discovered the BP podcast and started absorbing all the earlier episodes. I have since come to the realization that I previously knew absolutely nothing about how to do this and what an amazing resource BP is!

We are currently in Florida, one of our favorite states! We are considering investing in our first property here. We would like to start with a four plex that we would buy and hold.

Being relatively new to real estate and the US I am trying to learn as much as I can about financing, being a landlord, and property analysis.

I am hoping to network and learn from experienced investors. I am happy to help anyone with any construction related questions to pay it forward.

looking forward to being part of this community,

Shawn Leclair
