Hello! 

New to investing in real estate and on the cusp of making my first purchase. First purchase plan is a 3 or 4 plex with an FHA loan. After that I'm interested in SFH investments. I'm quite happy with my career so I'm not looking to quit my job, but, it's a boom or bust industry and I want another "iron in the fire" to break off from having to rely on that career. I'm born and bred in Florida and have spent most of my life in Pinellas County.

For the past couple years I have been reading everything I can get my hands on, put my finances in order, and I'm ready to jump in. 

Wish me luck.

Florida is also my market but I look in Orlando, Lakeland, Davenport, Auburndale, Winter Haven, etc. 

I would love to connect and learn from each other. Even keep each other accountable for our goals.
