Hello everyone, my name is Aron and I am new to this forum from Fort Lauderdale area.

I am one of those newbies that are young and ambitious but cautious at the same time. I am also that ''smart traveler'' on the investment path that truly listens to veteran investors and even those with wise words derived from hardship and fruitful mistakes.

My Real Estate Experience:

- I own three rental properties that are doing well, great tenants and I have read the FL statutes around tenant/landlord laws etc. I operate against these laws to find win-win situations at all times. I believe in landlord ''karma'' so I treat others the way I would want to be treated.

- I understand the housing purchase/sale cycle very well, I have come across some of the most sincere professionals in my investment career (Which is still kicking off).

- I have real estate agents in my family

My Outlook:

- At the moment, I view real estate as a means to supplement my current income from my job. My long term outlook is to build a diverse real estate investment foundation that can allow me to move into a part time role or even a position where I can focus on maintaining the investments as a source of income.

My Desire here:

- I wish to network and gain insight into the various avenues of investing in real estate, I wish to leave the single family home arena in the near future and dive into either multi family or commercial properties.

- Learn as much as I can about taking the next step (Trading up), and how to best utilize the equity and cash I have on hand to get there. I am blessed to have walked the path I am on (who is not, where in the US after all :)...), my properties have great equity and can provide the stepping stone to a bigger investment. My dream would be to own NNN leased single standing buildings but those require quite allot of investing etc.

Thanks for taking the time to read my intro, I will research where I can post my strategy, would be good to get feedback on my next steps.
