Here is one piece of advice as you begin your REI journey. 

(HousingWire)In stark contrast, recent figures show a sharp drop in foreclosure activity.

I'm just starting out an RE journey and am thinking of my first property this year.

I was wondering if any real estate agents might have any advice or resources that I can use to begin my journey?

I’m currently working on a deal in Fort Lauderdale & actively looking for financing solutions like hard money or private lending.

It may be helpful:I can give you some general info on insuring the property:Here are some things to look for from an Insurance prospective:1.Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.Any Knob & Tube or Aluminum Wiring3.If built before 1978, does the building have Lead Safe certifications4.Any wood stoves or secondary heating units.

It's great to see you're looking to start your real estate investing journey.

@Andrew Wade first narrow down if you want to be an active or passive investor.

There are many ways to take this journey from here however we realized our best way is getting outside investors to come in and help us purchase the property, then give them a fixed % over a period of time or even equity.If anyone has been in this position before, what's another creative way we can scale?
