Hey all my name is Laurence I’m a brand new member of np I  live in Orlando fl I’ve listened to about 100 episodes of the podcast I have zero real estate experience I’m looking to buy my first property to house hack this year I have a decent amount of money in the savings account I could use for a down payment also have a good credit score I don’t have a high monthly income unfortunately but just looking for any advice or tips or friends to bounce ideas off I’m debating which market would be better between the central Florida area or the Tampa area I also would love to get involved in flips at some point 

However, I wouldn't expect to be able to do many of these deals without quite a bit of experience.  

What has your experience been investing with Networthy.us?

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

.: @Brian ChenRentRange is more accurate in my experience.

I have been seeing a lot of houses in the area going up for foreclosure. But the whole concept of foreclosed homes is confusing to me. Is this a good way to get into real estate investing? What are the benefits and dr...

Haha, no bartending experience here, just trying to mix the right ingredients for a good deal!

To maximize my cashflow and gain landlording experience, I’d do STR and MTR in the other units, as well as the other bedrooms in my unit.

Keep in mind, such an appraisal may not be able to be used by your lender, but perhaps you can request an appraiser with investment property experience (wherever they may be). 

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
