Hey everyone,I’m new to real estate investing and looking to learn from those with more experience in the Florida rental market.

(I have experience raising money as a professional musician so this came somewhat naturally to me). 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

If you have experience in any of those three please reach out.

With absolutely no prior experience investing in real estate, I'm getting to the point/age where retirement from corporate America is getting closer and closer, however I still have 2 kids to put through college over the next 2-6 years.

Know your #'s, cut the fat, focus on quality. 

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.

In my experience one of my biggest lessons learned when dealing with older properties always expect more than you initially thought. 

Quote from @Mike Klarman: For a guaranteed 10% down program you'll need good credit and 3+ experience but then with closing costs it will be more like 15% and then holding costs and such. 

I am happy to make an introduction and share our experience as a national brand with the Jacksonville market.
