New investor in St. Petersburg

[Joseph Mattucci]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself in the local Florida forum. My name is Jenna Michael, I'm 28 with a degree in entrepreneurial business management and a degree in photographic arts. I recently moved from Hobe Sound to St. Petersburg in 2017 and absolutely love the area. I have had a passion for real estate since I was a kid and just recently ponied up the money for a pro membership on BP as I plan on taking REI seriously. Currently I am saving up, running numbers (to the best of my ability), and plan on making my first real estate investment in 2018. At the moment, I am currently looking at the BRRRR method / renting out single family homes as there just really aren't very many multifamily option in the area that I have found.

I have a lot of beginner questions so if they seem silly its just because this is pretty new and I am trying to learn. I am very interested in networking locally and in the BP community with hopes of finding a mentor in real estate. I am interested in finding a job in the real estate field as well so if anyone has something please feel free to PM me about it. Look forward to learning from you all and hopefully contributing some useful info as well!
