I’ve recently started exploring real estate investing as a path to financial freedom and am interested in the South Florida market.

What else should be doing in terms of tech, CRM, networking, social media and marketing to have max effects on mentee locating, market identification, tenant marketing And deal finding....

I've ran the numbers, we would get it for around 35k, about 35-40k in repairs and the ARV is right around 120k depending on the current state of the market.

Whats a better market demand in your area  apts or houses?

I've spent the last year following the real estate market and learning more about it, finally feel ready to make the jump to invest (especially since the deals are coming out to light). 

Purchased off market for 180k, EST rehab 40k, EST sale price 279k.

As far as the market, I would not make your decision on timing the market.

So I took action, I know nothing, so I thought the fist step would be talking with an agent and get an idea of the market value, make numbers, and then look for options to finance the asset.

June 2024 Lee County Florida Foreclosure ReportThe June 2024 Lee County Foreclosure Report was complied by Jeff Tumbarello, Director SWFL REIA , Broker/Owner Steelbridge Realty LLC Principal , Venture Investment PartnersThis is my work, done for me and shared with youThe data in the report came from multiple sources.Those sources are:The Lee County Clerk of Court, and MLS data (from my membership as the Broker of Steelbridge Realty LLC)We haven’t published this report in a while as the market trajectory previously rendered this dataset less crucial for forward-looking decisions.

If you have the money, and are asking the question, I would say you are ready.The only other question might be - are you timing the market right?
