I'm new to the area and looking to meet anyone involved with the real estate investing market for Central Florida, whatever your current portfolio looks like rookie or veteran, skill level, knowledge or plans are, let's meet and make some meaningful, strong relations with excellent upcoming talent with amazing ideas to share.

I'm new to the RE world, but have made my living from marketing skills for the past 15 years.

He's got a diverse and skilled staff on his payroll,  and I know they've got the ability to do any sort of work that might be required.Without any particular deal in mind I'd like to approach him about partnering on future flips that require significant work.  

Also it is a great way to network, and the skills learned there serve you well in real estate.

I am realizing I will need to follow that advice, as well, since I am not yet skilled at scoping out those killer deals.

I have no knowledge of your experience and skill set, so the question is not easily answered.  

Then go to as many REO properties as you can and practice your skill set.Here is some more info that should help you: Break up the home into sections - Kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, stucco, landscaping, plumbing (including fixtures), electrical (including fixtures), HVAC, interior doors, door casings/baseboards, windows/sliders/front door, roof, foundation, misc., and garage.Once you know what the common costs are for each area for a specific size home, you can see how easy it will become to walk in and walk out 15 minutes later with a rehab figure in your head.

Experience in sales is often touted as a good skill to have in any profession.

$200K is great but what skills, resources and experiences are you bringing to the table?  

I hope I can become a skilled wholesaler to present the rest of the investors here with someone awesome deals.
