Are you interested in getting MLS access and access to look at all of the vacant properties first as an investor who has a license? 

I mean, it's your property......At least that's how I always handled it....

Next step is a multifamily property.

Having a good team can make a big difference in fixing up a property, avoiding hidden issues, and saving money in the long run.I recently found SureBuild Restoration – they offer a lot of home restoration services and seem pretty reputable.

To that end, in most cases even if the properties are owned within an entity, the principles (investors) will need to personally guarantee the debt.

Look online to see if any properties are being offered for sale or rent with a legal basement unit and you may get a tip off.

Now that I am retired, I am eager to: 1) Gain hands-on experience in flipping homes in Florida, 2) Find properties with potential for value-add/forced appreciation, 3) Partner with experienced home flippers for collaborative projects.

This is my first investment property and was wondering if anyone can provide some guidance on winterizing a home.

In the real world, when you are sourcing deals and building relationships to get properties, you don't get to say, "Hey, I don't like the tone in the text you sent me."

I also have a separate mortgage account for each property.
