New investor in Orlando Florida.

Matthew Baker

Posted

Hi , BP

My name is Matt and i'm new to real estate investing have been educating myself with books and bigger pockets podcasts and various forms relating to real estate investing. Looking to start investing in the greater Orlando area and go from there. I plan on going to local REIA groups to network since its a big part of this business, i find bigger pockets filled with very helpful information and figured i introduce myself into the forum. perhaps any body has and tips or helpful info on what a new investor in the Orlando area should start looking into would be greatly appreciated i'm all ears.

Thanks.

@Matthew Baker welcome to the Bigger Pockets community. I recommend attending meetings at the local real estate investment clubs. In our area there is CFRI and GoREIA. They have meetings once per month.

Hi Matt, I'm a new investor as well and located in the Orlando area.  As John mentioned above, many people told me to attend the CFRI meeting. The next one is Wednesday and I will be attending.  You can get a guest pass to it on their website.   Hope to see you there!

I have been a member of CFRI but I like GOREIA better. Also there is a local BP meeting on April 20th and the subject will be 'How To finance your deals.' It will be held at the Hiawassee Library on W Colonial at 6:30 PM.
