Post: Are you a Los Angeles investor interested in the Florida market?

Hey BP nation!

If you are a California based investor interested in one of the hottest, stable, and desirable markets in the country, central Florida?

If not, you should be! 10% cap rates and low priced property in another state filled with palm trees, sun, and sand where millions of seniors plan on moving to should excite you.

I'm Brad and I am a Florida investor and Central Florida Investment Realtor living in Los Angeles. While everyone loves the California vibes, the overpriced market with horrendous 3% cap rate and negative cash flow is nothing to enjoy.

I work with California investors to find their ideal investment property and opportunity in and around Tampa and Orlando. Living in LA, I am able to meet face to face with you and discuss options, answer questions, show you opportunities and more while my resources in Florida can scout any property and set you up with the best contractors, handymen, and property management companies. 

Best of all, I don't charge ANYTHING. Just happy to earn that commission.

*Also, if you are a California real estate professional with clients looking in Florida, I will happily help your clients and work out a commission split so that everyone wins.

Visit my BP page and connect with me for more information.

Have a prosperous 2017!

-Brad D.

Post: Distressed Sinkhole Property MUST SELL!

• Add dry-mix concrete or a concrete plug at the bottom of the hole. This will provide a solid base.

  • After that, add clayey sand. Pure sand, with larger particles, feels gritty, while a fine-textured, clayey sand will feel sticky. Clayey sand will form a barrier that will help prevent water from seeping through the hole and enlarging it. Call a local contractor to find out where to buy clayey sand. If you can't get any, it is okay to use pure, clean sand.
  • Finally, add sand and topsoil on top to blend in the area with other landscaping. Additional fill may be needed at a later date, but the hole should stabilize eventually.

    I was curious about a sinkhole repair as well and came across this article. Take it for what it's worth............................."If a sinkhole appears that is directly threatening a house or structure, get out immediately. Report the problem to emergency personnel as well as to a building inspector, and wait for an inspection to find out if it is safe to return.

    If a sinkhole occurs in the middle of the road, contact local law enforcement agencies. The area should be cordoned off immediately.

    But, if the sinkhole is not impacting a house or other structure, and if it is a manageable size—1 to 3 feet in both diameter and depth—then it can be filled in. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has these recommendations for filling the hole:

  • First, monitor the hole. If it does not get bigger over time, fill it in.

    Hey BP Nation,

    My name is Brad and I am a FL investor/Realtor living in Los Angeles. I am meeting investors out here that are very interested investing out of state and I'm looking to set them up with deals in and around Tampa and Orlando.

    With that being said, I'm looking to meet awesome wholesalers to forward me their deals on a regular basis for these investors of mine.

    Also, If you know anyone I should reach out to, please let me know. Thanks!

    -Brad

    Hello BP nation!

    My name is Brad and I am a newly licensed Fl Realtor. While I grew up in the land of milk and honey(Tampa, FL) where property is cheap and there is cash flow, I now live in LA, the land of Almond milk and Organic raw Manuka honey, where everything is a fortune.

    I got licensed in Florida because I found a need for people out here with some money to invest out of state since they have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and subscribe to BP instead of competing with established LA agents.

    My question is this...

    Since most people would be too intimidated to invest out of state, how can I show these clients that it is not only doable, but profitable and worth it?

    I have feet on the ground in central Florida to send video, pics, etc., a broker with tons of experience flipping and working with investors, the ability to fly to Florida if need be, and a solid grasp on the numbers FL real estate offers compares to California. 

    What else would you do or have in place? Keep in mind, I am just starting out on the agent side of the business.

    Any specific ideas or insight you have is highly appreciated. Thank you

    -Brad
