I have 33 years of real estate experience and a passion for what I do. 

I'm new to real estate investing and have been looking to buy my first property for the past 3-4 weeksI have roughly 120k (not all of that I would like to use) to put towards an initial investmentI found a property that I would like to get for 325k that is in ROUGH shape, basically every room and property needs a lot of TLC.I'm getting a 2nd GC to come and look at it but I'm estimating anywhere from 75k-100k in rehab costs to really get it updated.It's a 4/2 with the potential to be a 4/3 or even 5/3 with some creativity of the attic space. 2750sqft with a beautiful pool area and big backyard in Central FL, 15 min from Disney.The girl that has the property wholesale is saying the ARV could be anywhere 550k-600k but honestly, I don't see that number being accurate looking at comps around within a mile or two, and I really need an expert evaluation on this deal but don't know who to go to.I would love someone who has experience doing BRRRR or fix and flips to look at this property/deal and be able to say "this is a no go" or "you have plenty of margin to make this profitable"Any help would be super appreciated!

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, I'd love to connect and share experiences, insights, and ideas.So, if you're based in South Florida and share a passion for real estate investing, I'd love to hear from you!

When they sat down with my wife and I to show us the plans, they said they were hoping to give us 10K for the piece of property.I am hoping that someone has experience in this occuring and amount of money received.

Since then we've had nurses and doctors and such book directly through Airbnb or start the request through Airbnb and then we went offline and signed a lease without paying fees and taxes and such to Airbnb.Does anyone have any experience with other sites? 

Would that be investing or more like gambling? 

I don't have any experience with that, but with VA being strict in so many things, I could see there being an issue.  

They actually invest.The deals are tough to find but they are out there.It helps to love the hunt as part of the experience - if you don't actually enjoy searching then I understand how it would be difficult to stick with it.
