Hi @Dylan J Berget, thanks for this!!

Does every buyer usually have an attorney represent them (referring to your statement "...for the attorney to work from..")? For example, I live in FL and don't believe an attorney is mandatory. Although I'm sure it would definitely benefit me for their review, it's just harder to be able to afford all the moving parts when you're just getting started out so I was curious for the general and also uncommon things to look out for that would be able to give me an out should an issue like you mentioned arise.

Thanks again! I really appreciate your helpful response!

Hi all,

I'm doing some research and since I've not purchased an investment (or any) property before, does anybody have any suggestions or specific or standard contingencies they'd put or want in their contract when making an offer? Also, who writes the contract, the REA?

Thanks in advance! 

Thanks! @Dillon Cook, do you have suggestions on websites (or ones that you use) to find this information? I'm in the process of all my research and just want to learn all I can so the more information I can find, the better. 

Thanks again!

 @January Johnson - I like what I'm reading! I'll definitely be doing some research on The Short Term Shop! 

@Tyler Gibson, thanks so much for your response! I figured the PM would definitely be local to the area of the property and would need different PM's for each area, those were just the areas I'd like to invest in. I've just looked at your page Orlando is the area I'm targeting for Central Florida. I'd love to connect in a few months' time (or before if preferred) to possibly locate a property in your area and start my REI journey around October this year. I'm also open to any opportunities along the way. I'd like to purchase an STR (I probably should have said that), being that I live in South Florida, Orlando isn't too far, but also not close enough that I can drop by anytime, so I thought I'd need a PM, or perhaps just a great team in place as far as a mechanic and cleaner, realtor and lender.

Thanks again! 

Hi all,

Newbie here. I've not yet invested in my first property, but I plan to purchase my first one by the end of 2023. I'd really like to get a great team in place for long term relations and reliability prior to. Does anyone have suggested property management companies they've used in Florida that they can recommend I reach out to, to see if we're a good fit for each other? How do I know which questions to ask to ensure the property manager is performing at its best? Since I don't have the experience that I aspire to have yet, I'm looking to create a relationship with some guidance without being taken advantage of. I'm looking to invest in the South Florida, Central Florida, and panhandle markets. Any helpful information or suggestions are greatly appreciated! I'm open to ideas and subjects/information to research in case there is something I am missing or just don't know to look for yet.

Thanks all!

@Michael Plaks

Thanks for this information! I acknowledge it is tax season and I'm only trying to gain more knowledge on the subject, not as a pressing matter to obtain a CPA at the moment. I understand everyone's time is valuable and came to the forum in search of any suggestions or advise CPA's might have so I appreciate your response.

As you mentioned interviewing is a two-way street and the CPA would be interviewing myself during any conversation had between us as well to see if we'd be a good fit for each other. The end goal is to create a relationship for the long-term, but for now I am just getting started and like to meet with people first.

Thanks for your post!

Hi all,

Does anyone have a CPA they've worked with that has REI experience they can recommend? I'd like to interview and be prepared prior to purchasing my first property.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Ivonne Pinedo!

Thanks so much! I'd love to attend a meet up in Fort Lauderdale. I'm attending one on the 5th, but look forward to finding more meet ups nearby! Feel free to message me anytime. I'm not quite ready to "pull the trigger" on a property yet, but soon!! :)

This is so awesome!! I love these kinds of stories. Congratulations!
