Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

If you have access to some money you can increase your equity in one jump.

I'm a big fan of value-add opportunities, whether it's buying something currently undervalued & fixing it up to my standards, or buying something that has additional income opportunities that have yet to be incorporated. 

the property’s rehabilitation is scheduled for completion in 2025 and the rent will subsequently increase, can I proceed with a cash-out refinance based on the current rent roll?

The homeowner collects a NET/NET 5% yield with 1% increases each year in long-term lease by a BBB+ credit rated tenant (similar to Morgan Stanley credit).

The biggest challenge is a lack of quality homes and a rapidly increasing demand for vacation, second and primary homes.
