Though my years of hiring trades to work on my rental and friends/ family/ clients properties I have had it good and bad experiences.

I will be doing deals either in Central Florida / Orlando Area, or Southeast Florida / Juno Beach, Fort Lauderdale areas, as I have family looking in both areas.

Hi everyone,I am new to the USA and looking to invest in property with a long term goal to eventually replace part of my W2 income and also pave the way for my children to get a easier start in life.At the moment I am renting with an intention to buy a single family home this year.In a addition I have other cash - not much - that is sitting in a interest bearing account growing very slowly.

I know in theory the process of BRRR, Buy & Flip, Buy & Hold, et... but I am very worried about screwing it up and really putting myself and my family in the hole ( I have a wife and a 1 year old son).

My plan is to D4D or pull list from county and begin marketing on a small scale but with a buyers mindset (whatever doesn't meet my criteria, ill whole sale) I am a little lost or should I say would like to get investor opinions on my plan and gain some insights from you all.I don't know much about financing or rehab I have never done it and it feels intimidating while supporting a family

Additionally Section 8 owns a ton of apartment complexes so there is aggressive competition when compared to the single family vouchers that are very commonly available to us small-time housing providers.Love to talk Toledo, again thank you for the interest!
