@Kevin Marino Having a high paying W-2 job is sometimes the best way to get into Real Estate. 

I moved to Florida a little over a year ago, I bought my first (and only) house about 4 months ago.I am highly motivated to start in the real estate filed.There is one problem- MONEY.Right now I'm trying to save money to invest in a second home.Every morning I wake up to a 9-5 job, stare at the computer all day,and I feel like I can do so much more.I know how to work with my hands, and I renovate in my free time.I would love to work in this field and to learn the profession.If anyone is interested in mentoring a young and motivated guy, please leave a message here.Thanks!

So, good news is that you're already all set with a great mortgage relative to what you'd get today.Bad news is another 500 people in the mortgage industry that always focused on rate/term refinances, rather than purchase business, just lost their jobs, because you are far from the only one in that position. 

I'm interested in purchasing a multifamily property and househacking, likely in the Broward area given the proximity to my job.

And when the boom went bust in a very localized manner, our tenants lost jobs. 

Our dream was to find something cheap enough that we could renovate and make our own.  

I guess I don’t need to tell you that You are doing a very poor job managing your rental property because you are letting the inmates take over the asylum !

Do you have the time to manage all of those BRRRR projects or do you have a full time job?

My ultimate goal is to obtain financial freedom from a day job which I discovered was possible through wise investing!

The legalities of property purchases should be able to be handled by your Realtor as this is their job to know all of the real estate laws of your state.
