I would like to explore and expand my portfolio through house hacking and possibly a fix-and-flip.Thank you for taking the time to visit.If you're in the Central Florida area, I would love to connect with more like-minded individuals.

@James WilcoxMy friends and I have an Airbnb in L-Ville so we will be exploring there more.  

@Paul DentingerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I'm definitely still in the exploration phase to see if I will end up going this route, but as I've furnished multiple units, I've realized I don't really enjoy that part of the process nor is design a strength of mine, so if I can hire it out to someone who will do a better job than me for a reasonable price, I will.

I've recently starting exploring the world of real estate investing and I'm eager to connect with like-minded individuals who can help me learn and grow in the field. 

I agree, any contacts in AL to explore 

Brown RentRedi tries to enhance the DIY management options.It is NOT a replacement for a PMC.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You'll want to explore the rent to own market, but to do this properly and avoid all the problems you hear about (because most people do it wrong) you'll want to put a BUYER in the home, not a renter.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

Just currently exploring what would give me the best bang for my buck.
