I have already had the pleasure to meet many agents and others in Miami and Broward who are involved in real estate.

It will be my pleasure help you out in this adventure.

@Amanda Elsberry  My pleasure.  

As an investor you have less stress, you don't have to where a yellow or blue blazer, no need to look for the balloon in the air and don't have to pay dues, attend meetings, meet a quota, do a coop with agents who take part of your commissionJust think no floor duty, no driving customers around to look at houses,  waste your time and gas. sap your energy and leaving you only to buy a property from their brother in law who just get their licenseOh YES, the freedom to make all the money your are worth, no need  for the hassle of finding listings, prospecting, floor duty.......oh the freedom that an investor has, oh the pleasure of sleeping late, making creative offers, doing subject to existing financing, delayed settlements, collecting assignment fees.....oh the sweet freedom of cash flow and free time.

PhilHi Phil,Pleasure to meet you.

Always a pleasure to meet a fellow bulldog. 

I'm new to the world of real estate investment, I'm very wet behind my ears, and it's been a pleasure to have found this community, full of tools, training, and excellent advice from the real experts. 

There are also a lot of wonderful contractors out there that do a great job and are a pleasure to do business with, so do your due dilligence to make sure you end up with one of those :)I'm including a link to the CA Contractors Board regulations regarding what must be contained in a written contract.

If they can't provide proper proof of income, or if they have more family members than your municipality allows in your apartment, or if they are felons, sexual predators, or other classes that your locale allows you to restrict applications based on, then good.
