Moving to Florida!
Hello all!
I'll be moving from Chicago to the Fort Myers/ Cape Coral area in about a month and had a few questions:
does anyone have a broad overview of what the market is like in Lee county?
where is the local REIA meeting(s) and when is it held? I'd like to attend one as soon as I get down there!
are there any local rehabbers/wholesalers/landlords/investors in general looking for a gung-ho "boots on the ground" newbie to assist you in your business, an in turn jump start my own?
I've purchased my first absentee/probate lists for Lee county and as soon as I get my taxes they'll be getting mailed out! Wish me luck!!

Google the local REIA clubs call the president and any vendors begin a relationship gather info.
Go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers call 5 ask them what parts of the city they like and dislike and why. What do they see them selling for per unit and expenses per unit.
