NEW MEMBER INTRO – Miami Florida

[Daniel Montoliu]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community!

My wife and I are new to the community. Our background is in engineering, and we are both currently working in the supply chain field. We live in the Miami FL area, and we are passionate about accumulating assets that will allow us to reach financial freedom. We feel real estate can get be a great tool that will help us accomplish our goals.

We are currently in the education/learning phase! Initially we are focusing on learning about buy and hold rental investing strategies (Single Family/House Hacking).

Any words of advice for a young couple that is starting out in the real estate investing world? Are there any active Bigger Pockets/Real Estate meetups near the Miami, FL area? Looking forward to learning and connecting with the community.

Thanks!

Daniel and Anabella

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! 

No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

If you haven’t already subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcasts, do that ASAP. Look for meet ups in your area (virtual) via apps like Meetup or FB groups, attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post!

As a new/young investor, I'd advocate for house hacking. You can decrease or completely eliminate your monthly housing expenses, cashflow on top of that, gain appreciation, benefit from the tax advantages etc. 

Feel free to DM me with any questions.

Good luck and get educated!
