I'm excited to join this community as I begin my real estate journey.

Hi there,It’s awesome that you’re taking the leap into real estate investing, especially with such a solid financial foundation.

Personally, I hate the idea of having to sell unless I'm using that money to buy more real estate.

One of those properties is being sold by the city due to missed real estate taxes.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to real estate investing.

I'm currently looking through my lease and will consult a real estate attorney.

I am licensed as a real estate broker in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

My real estate agent, who has a long prior career history in construction, seems to be happy with both the properties and has inspected them in detail and also been under the crawl space noting new plumbing, electrical and foundation sister-in-law beams too.As mentioned it is looking very likely the current buyer will not meet the closing deadline at which point I am next in line and have got price agreed with the back up after a few phone calls today. 

If they are more of a part-time real estate/ property manager, maybe not.The reason is that a professional management company knows the eviction process in Florida much like they should know other real estate laws.
