Hey @Lakila Richardson welcome to BP! I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast. You should definitely start jumping right in the forums! Also, if you haven't yet, try to setup some "Keyword Alerts." It's great for getting into local conversations.

See you around the site!

Hi Nicola...I'm interested primarily in Broward  and Dade. I'm more so looking for the best deal in the right location versus being married to a specific area. To further clarify, I'm looking to do a house hack in a quadraplex unit...so the right deal is more my focus.

Any advice as a former newbie? :-)

Hello Lakila,

Welcome to BP!! A few months ago I was a new member also! What area of South Florida were you looking in? Were you looking at Broward County and a particular city? 

Thanks Nadine...that's helpful to know. I'll look into Pacifico!

I lived in Charlotte about 10 yrs ago also...great city!

Best of luck

I have been in NC near Charlotte for about 10 years and I have used several realltors for various transactions.  They have all had their strengths but few were open minded when it came to contract assignments and creative financing.  

I now use Julia Pacifico of Pacifico Properties in Kannapolis, NC.  She is an investor herself and totally understands our needs.

Good Luck

Nadine

Thanks for the advice, Rob!

Hi All,

Please share advice on evaluating whether a Real Estate agent is a good candidate to source investment properties, particularly multi-family units/apartments. I'm currently seeking a quadraplex in South Florida but am looking for someone I can work with long term in both South Florida and Fayetteville, NC.

Any advice on what makes a great agent to work with for investments will be helpful.

(Becoming an agent and sourcing on my own is not an option at the moment)

Thanks!

Hi Folks...I'm about to start a house hacking adventure! I'm looking to purchase my first quadraplex in South Florida and would love advice on the following

1. How do I determine if a deal is a good deal?

2. What's the best way to identify good vendors for property maintenance?

3. What type of financing should I be seeking? (I plan to live in the unit until I'm ready to do my next deal...min of 1yr)

Or course and any "Do's/Don'ts" are welcome!

Hi All...my name is Lakila Richardson. I live in South Florida and inherited a single family home in Fayetteville, NC (where I'm originally from). I'm renting out the house and now want to make serious moves in building a real estate portfolio, focusing on multi-family/apt units in both So Flo & NC. I'm looking for advice from financing to how to choose a Property Manager to property sourcing. I listen to the podcast regularly and am looking forward to learning from this amazing forum! Lakila
