Hello everyone! 

Man, I'm glad to read that you're all here. 

We have the perfect platform for you all to meet in real life. I'm the Director of the largest real estate investors association in South Florida and would love for you all to meet up at our club. We have networking, food, fun, and a cash bar. 

We have two nationally recognized chapters: the Miami-Dade REIA & and the Broward REIA aka BREIA.

@Jean Pierre @Marty True @Glenn Kopensky - Send me your emails through Direct Message and I'll add you to our buyer's list. I'm sure you'll find something you'd like to buy from our property list. 

Do you have a property to rehab yet?

Absolutely! Call Walter Solis. Ill send you his number via DM.

I remember almost buying a 9 bedroom 2 bathroom house (1717 NW 67 ST) close to Brownsville and seeing a whole block roped off with yellow tape because someone got shot... let's just say that's the first time I was concerned about my safety while buying a property in that are.

If security is a concern, I'd stay away from Brownsville, Allapattah, West Little River, & Little Haiti. 

And before someone comes out and replies to my post about the potential of these areas let me say that these areas are still fantastic for rentals. It's probably better in terms of ROI. I bought and sold a quadplex in Brownsville and was making over 20% CAP while holding it. 

It's funny because there was some guy selling drugs in front of the house and he flashed the gun on his hip as I pulled up. I let him know I was there for some rent and that he could be doing what I was doing and I gave him a business card; I never heard from him. 3 months later we sold it and made $28k plus the rent monies. 

Miami Gardens is a wholesaling Gold Mine. You just have to pick up your skirt and go in there. I'm also from Hialeah and competition can be stiff. I recommend, driving for dollars & door-knocking, a mailing campaign, check for pre-foreclosures w/ and w/ out equity in Miami Gardens.
