Hi AshekI am not an expert in the SE Florida market, but I am very up on the Gulf Coast markets. 

As a licensed realtor and investor here in the Cleveland market, I have plenty of experience working these deals and always eager to help others on their real estate journey.

My advice is to take your time learning the ropes and understanding the market.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My fiancé and I are beginning our real estate investment journey but we live and work in one of the most expensive markets in the world - even though we are 20 minutes from San Francisco there is not a property in our city listed at under 1 million (yes).So I recently took a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of identifying regions we would like to invest in and ended up finding a fantastic little condo for our starter property.

Buyers are still out there.Are you marketing and pricing your properties effectively to attract Buyers?

Sounds like your target market (or guest avatar) is fisherman/outdoorsy vacationers.

It's nice to have access to the MLS data and how easy it is to set up a showing of a property that I want to see.The downside is you will have to pay the broker, MLS, and NAR fees along with continuing education requirements to maintain your license which can sometimes not be worth it.The biggest perk for me was having people I know come to me to list their house for them but instead I would just offer to buy it and make the process easy for them.

At 4.5 stars, you are really hurting in a very competitive market so you might consider redoing the pics, more themed kids bedrooms and start over.

One thing to consider is PM options and being limited to who you can use and how they market the property.

It will be very difficult to do that in a location other than your market.
