I'm A new investor in the Orlando Florida area. I have plans to build my wealth is student housing and assisted living facilities throughout the United States.

Hello,

I am looking for a 100% financing on a florida property that needs rehab. I am interested in buying and flipping.
68k purchase price with taxes. About 20k rehab. Could sell for 124k -150k.

Can anyone recommend a lender?

Thanks,

Hello everyone!

My name is MAYRASOL ALVAREZ. I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA but currently reside in the East Bay with my husband and teen aged daughter. In 2015, I left the Corporate World after putting in nearly 25 years. I run my own travel agency from home which has been an awesome experience.

My husband, DOMINIC, was born in Chicago, IL but raised in the East Bay. He is a Martial Arts Instructor and a Physical Therapist Assistant. We are hoping he can quit his day job soon.

We are in the early stages of starting a second business, Real Estate Investment, together. 

Right now, we are focusing on wholesaling in Chicago, IL / Dallas, TX and North Florida (Tampa, Orlando, and up). However, we do have a buy and hold property in Cape Coral, FL (one lot).We are working on building through quick cash opportunities so that we can turn around and reinvest. As soon as we are able, we plan on getting into rental properties then eventually flip houses.

Some acquaintances of ours are also investors and had mentioned finding Bigger Pockets. They suggested we look into it, which we did and it has been an awesome resource so far for advice and networking. I look forward to continuing my exploration of BP and also meeting like-minded individuals who we can possibly work with but mostly learn from.

We have always been interested in real estate and are enjoying "learning while doing" in this business. It's been fun so far!

Before I end our introduction, we would like to welcome all other "newbies" like my husband, Dominic, and I. We hope to meet many of you as well as learn and grow with you.

Goodnight from CA.

Hi all,

I currently reside in upstate NY. My parents are looking to relocate to Florida (Sarasota Area). My wife and I currently live in a two family house we own (House Hacking) and are looking to invest in a 2-4 family house in the Florida area where our parents are looking to move. They are going down in the end of March to look at condos/townhomes and possibly investment properties. My question to you is, do you have any experience buying investment properties in markets you don't reside in? Do you recommend it or not? I most likely will have my father in-law (who has experience) manage the properties and pay him. Or I will hire a management company (That others recommend) and pay them the market rate. I look forward to your feedback!

Thanks,

Trent

If you had say $150K cash starting out in South Florida in 2016, what would you do?...  GO!

Has anyone used Real Estate Express online to get their real estate license, in particular in Florida?

@Account Closed Navy Fed will only do 2 but I'm willing to do 4 if I choose to work with another lender. And of course find the right deal. I'm mostly looking on Realtor and an agent has an MLS search going for me so I'm pretty sure I'm just getting the dregs. If you have any tips as to where to look and find a good deal for an owner occupier, I'm all ears!
