Hello! New to Real Estate, Located in Fruitland Park, Florida

[Nataly Trejo]

Hello everyone! It's a pleasure to be here, my name is Nataly and I recently relocated to central Florida. My husband and I are interested in getting into real estate and have been reading and listening to everything Bigger Pockets over the last few weeks.

I am self-employed and my husband is a teacher. I lived abroad for a few years in Italy, came back, decided I didn't want to work for anyone so I started my online business. At the beginning of the year, I was really working on becoming less hands on with my business and I was looking to expand and make some passive income. My husband read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and then had me read it, which is what developed our interest in real estate. Our goals are to create a monthly cash flow that will allow us the freedom to travel around the world and invest in our retirement. Looking forward to trying our hand in real estate, if you're in the area, give us a shout.

Best of luck to everyone on their real estate journey!

Hi @Nataly Trejo Welcome to Central Florida and BP. Keep reading and listening as much as you can. You are in a very active market where the local investor community has always been very active, people from all over the country look here because of the opportunities and we also get International exposure because of the theme parks. That means lots of competition for you.

Would love to hear more about where you are, where you looking, what types of properties you are interested in (SFR, multi family, STR, mobile homes etc). I would also suggest to join CFRI, the local chapter for the National REIA. Lots of good networking, education, information and access to great trades, lenders, wholesalers and much more.

Reach out if I can be of any help. Good luck!
