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

I love that you're focused on a niche that isn't talked about too much.

I would suggest focusing on solving people's problems more than trying to sell them.

Your clients should focus on properties with significant equity potential and work with experienced contractors to stay within budget and timeline—especially with borrowed funds on the line.Avoiding Bad Deals - Encourage them to work with experienced agents, contractors, or mentors and always run multiple scenarios, including worst-case outcomes, to stress-test their numbers.Reserves - Advise your clients to keep a reserve fund separate from their loan for emergencies, unexpected expenses, or delays.

Wealth Building: Paying off the first STR focuses on cash flow and financial security, while buying another property focuses on scaling and wealth building.

We would rather buy in a higher class and have less cash flow/come out even and focus on appreciation and long term.

I find that this helps them to really be able to focus (others, not so much).Second thing I have them do is consider hiring me (or somebody else) to keep their books on a monthly or quarterly basis. 

The TN focus is on adopting remote workers.

Are you leaning toward a quick sale so you can focus on Oregon, or do you see potential in holding onto this Florida home as a cash flow play?

Here are some of the areas that I focus in on:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), Bedford
