Hi all, Kyle here Carolina born, South Florida living. I work in tech, at a software company however have a real estate bug. I join with the hopes to gain knowledge and to eventually, make my first real estate purchase. Short and sweet honestly, feel free to ask me anything or pick my brain.
Thank you.
Hey Kyle, how's it going? I am an investor, realtor and property manager in Fort Lauderdale and have been in the game a while... Out of curiosity, what got you interested in RE now?
I am a renter of almost 5 years here, prices continue to rise. I need to buy into something I feel, because it's only going to go up. We have limited space down here; people are flocking here continuously. I don't want to throw money away every month, I would rather pay towards my own equity. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the South Florida market.
I have a big focus currently of downsizing. I am getting out of my 500$/month car for a cash car, which should lower my insurance also(310$).
Part of me wants to get a cheap piece of land to live on in a decked-out container in between the areas of the markets posted below. Or traveling in an RV, in between stays at my parents house.
I am currently running into a chunk of money 20k$~ and have family that will help invest in my first property. I am interested in the markets of Florence SC and Jacksonville FL and feel priced out of anywhere in South Florida where I currently am and would love to be. I work remote, and if need be I could drive to the closest office to me. But as of now no requirements. So just a lot of thoughts, a lot of studying, and trying to come up with the right decision.
