I currently have a full-time career as a senior engineer in the aerospace industry, but I’ve always been interested in real estate, and I view REI as a way to supplement my future retirement.I’m interested in initially doing fix and flips to build up capital for buy and hold investments in multi-family properties, and I have about $200K in home equity that I can leverage to get started.

"I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I own a few condos solely under my name and with loans in the Orlando area. I have HO6 insurance and an Umbrella policy to my name. I take care of the paperwork, finances, accounting, paying bills, finding tenants, cr...

I got into short term rentals in 2017, bought 3 single family homes in Scottsdale that I rented out on airbnb from 2017-2020.

We want to attract higher end renters with  families. 

-Rental demand and property appreciation potential.Selecting the Right Property Type:-Single-family homes, multifamily units, condos, and townhomes all thrive in Orlando.

I am currently looking and experienced with single family but am interested in learning more about commercial also.

The lot will have to be zoned for multi-family and the structure will have to meet code. 

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.
