Post: Looking for a local meet up group

Hello everyone, 

I am currently looking for a local investment group that meets weekly or monthly. I currently live in the Kissimmee area near Orlando Fl. Most REIA groups are only able to meet online, I would prefer to meet face to face. Any suggestions on where to look?


Blessings,

Main reason for this is that I want to put in the work and learn the in's and out's of the business. Long term goal would be to find proper guidance through a mentor in my local area. I understand I have to add value before I can receive it, which is why I am extremely willing to assist with anything during my free time. 

For anyone in the Orlando / Kissimmee area needing some additional assistance, please inbox me. 

Blessings,

Post: Entry Strategy into real estate

Hello everyone,

Looking at various entries into this real estate world. As I await for an approval from a loan officer, someone approached me and spoke to me about a nation wide program called DACA. The program is designed to help people purchase a home with the assistance of closing cost and down payments. I have tried calling and emailing them through the contact info provided on their website, but have not heard back. 

Can anyone here tell me more about this program?

Hello,

As I look into all the wonders of the investing world of real estate, through one of the BP episodes I was able to learn more about being able to access key information trough the county. Would anyone here be able to assist with how to properly look for previous property information trough the county records? 

Blessings,

Hello everyone! I am a Florida native, a 24 year old graduate student looking to take action. I have been listening to the BP podcast for about 7 months now and am truly fascinated with creating a legacy and serving others. Currently have been gathering information from books, the BP podcast/youtube channel, and asking questions to friends and family. After spending the past year saving money, I am looking for some assistance in acquiring my first property in the central Florida area. If anyone is a local here in the area, I would love to get in contact. 


Blessings,
