Hey everyone! Looking to build a team in both Valdosta GA market and Gainesville FL market. We just finished our first flip in NJ (family inherited property) and learned a ton. Would love to connect with anyone investing in the Valdosta GA market or the Gainesville FL market. Looking for opportunities in both flipping and rentals. Can’t wait to meet everyone!

Hi everyone! 

I am a totally new investor who is currently in the "education" phase of my investment journey. Trying to get as many opinions as possible. The current situation is that I have enough built up in capital for investment to be able to buy our first house in cash. I was curious on if this was a better option? My strategy would be to buy the home in cash and immediately refi for a 70% equity loan on the home. This in theory would allow me to make more appealing offers on deals and eliminate a lender on the front end, when negotiating with the seller. I would take the refi money, pay my business back and move on to the next property. All thoughts are welcomed as this is just an idea.
