Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies.

I would vet contractors by finding local real estate agents that also work with investors, and/or a rehab investor in your area that does a lot of deals.

I'm an agent and investor and about 80% of my buyer clients all house hack.

As an agent, I personally would love to hear your thoughts on how the implementation of AI will affect agents system processes or how it already has, however I would love to hear about it's impact in all facets of real estate.Apologies if this is a repeat post, I haven't searched much on the forums for this yet. 

Blue Sky was in reality Charles Stultz who worked for Bert and was a leasing agent for Ocean Point.

Sometimes agents do it because they don't know any better, are order takers, or make a mistake.  

Selling makes agents money and the IRS if you don''t 1031, it's almost always better to re-leverage instead.

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.

Central Florida is a solid market with strong rental demand, especially in growing areas like Orlando, Tampa, and Lakeland.Focus on building relationships with local agents, lenders, and property managers—they’ll help you identify good deals.

I am an investor and an agent in the Daytona Beach and surrounding area.
