Real Estate Investors in South Florida

[Justin Elliott]

Hey, Bigger Pockets Fam! 

My name is Justin, originally from Philly but I have lived in South Florida for the past 26 years so I am basically from Miami lol. New to real estate investing but after the birth of my son, I realized that I needed to build a future for him that my current job as a DJ could not provide. Although traveling the world playing music is fun, it doesn't come with a 401k. 

Since COVID hit and my entire summer tour schedule has been canceled I decided that now was the right time to dive in head 1st and figure this real estate game out. Thankfully I found Bigger Pockets and Brandon has become my Mr.Miyagi for Real Estate Investing. My goal was to start out Wholesaling to raise capital, learn the market in south Florida, and gain some experience. But somehow I landed myself with one buy and hold and one fix and flip less than a month. I must say that things have been pretty interesting so far and that the best experience is getting out and getting started. 

Looking forward to networking with you guys and hearing your stories. South Florida is a great place to be and now I can say I actually own a few pieces of it. I am doing Real Estate full time now and hope to connect with as many awesome people as possible along this journey. 

Let's get it started!

Congrats, on your first step! One of the podcast has a guests that says he buys a property for each child he has and does a 15 yr loan on it. He then plans on giving it to them @ 18 when they can decide to sell it for college funds/ keep it and cash flow. I love the idea and plan on doing this myself!  Keep gaining knowledge and asking questions!
