Partner in St Augustine, Jacksonville - nursery and VOIP
Been learning, posting and running deals by fellow BPers since Nov 2015, but I want to learn more about the local market here in NE Florida. Haven't bought my first investment property yet but my goal is to have 1 by June 30 and the 2nd by Dec 30.
To network and learn more, I am looking to partner or offer my expertise in exchange to ride along, help find deals, etc...I am open to anything. I work from home full-time so my schedule is flexible.
I am a veteran VOIP engineer with years of experience setting up phone and computer systems. For my real estate business, I am currently setting up a VOIP system from a carrier here in Florida that will cost me $30/mo and I was able to choose 4 phone numbers that end in 7000, 8000, 9000, etc..I can get faxes, do call forwarding etc. My point is if you are looking for an alternative phone or IT solution for your real estate business I can definitely help you out..I like the computer stuff but my expertise is in Voice over IP Telephone Systems and setting up virtual phone systems.
The other offer I have is I am a licensed nursery stock dealer in the state of Florida and can buy from any wholesaler in the state...currently I buy from Grandiflora in Gainesville, FL...they supply Disney, UF, Busch Gardens, etc This is up for discussion, but I am thinking some flippers, contractors, investors, etc may have some landscaping needs from time to time so in exchange for learning, mentoring, etc we can work out a deal where I can sell to you at cost or near cost...I will share my product/cost list...I have access to over 700 items and can beat most of the big box store prices..everything is negotiable.
I am currently working on finding properties to wholesale and working on a house right now to do a sandwich lease on and looking at sub2s as well. Found someone to help me streamline my marketing and create some brand awareness and just met with the real estate lawyer for the first time today to finalize contracts for the sandwich lease deal i am working on. I am also exploring the idea of creating a foundation or partnering with a local charity to donate X amount of dollars for every house I purchase or assign. I don't have much extra cash so I am concentrating on being a real estate entrepreneur, hustling and being creative because I can't really call myself an investor yet, now can I? LOL
If interested, please message, reply to this thread, email or call. Be happy to meet for coffee, a coke, lunch, etc. I know I am one handshake away from meeting the next person that is going to be the reason this endeavor is going to be success. Thanks for taking the time to read this LONG post..LOL. Cheers!
