I live in Bradenton Florida (near the beach) and my husband and we have some capital we are willing to use for our first investment. We are interested in multi family. However, we’re finding it hard to find duplexes (which we would like to start off with) that are in, at minimum, mediocre condition. Other options would be condos but then you have the HOA fees cutting into cash flow...big time! We do not have connections for construction/rehab so rehabbing is out of the question. Florida real estate is already so expensive and inventory is so low. Should we look to do long distance? We would like to purchase something within the next three months but we are just at a loss of where to go to invest.

We are open to living in a unit but the problem is we cannot find a "safe" or comfortable area we want to do that in.  I have a 7 yo son that I have to consider as well.  If the right situation came along we'd be down for it!

I can’t figure out how to add a profile pic!

Husband and wife super motivated to start real estate investing! Looking to purchase our first rental property within the next few months. We’re looking at multifamily specifically duplexes and triplexes to start.
