Look up the courses taught by Justin Kivel, specifically the Pro forma modeling course and the real estate financial modeling boot camp.

In FL PS only provides about 37% of the leads/oppertunities going through the county records offices (I have  study I have done comparing the 2 to back this up if you want me to post it/send it) recorder offices Florida and Hilsborough are obviously competitive but if your getting information before everyone else and using it fast in the market where it matters its not so competititve.If your leads are for say absentee owner, tired  landlord then you want the owner to have had the property for longer to hopefully increase motivation.

What has your CPA / Financial advisor recommended?

Getting into real estate has been a game changer for us financially and something I have grown to love. 

Unfortunately, Covid decided to change my plans, and I made the decision to hold off, in hindsight it was a huge mistake and no one could have imagined that property values could have increased at such a high rate.

Based on what you shared you are not financially qualified to own real estate.

Dealcheck is FREE and it offers an app for calculators.I’m shocked that that your team hasn’t told you how much your ROI would increase and user engagement just by having an app.

I'm a part-time CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for real estate developers across the country, most of whom are trying to give back to their communities through their real estate development skills.I'm also a former Director of Lending for a CDFI that lent money to local developers rebuilding LMI and under invested communities. 

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

It's exciting to see your focus on building a real estate portfolio for financial freedom!
