Recently obtained my real estate license to save money on short-term residential flips and seeking a broker within Broward County.

He or she should know how to do many things and can save some money on repairs and turnover. 

We are going to be talking about buy and hold strategies to maximize profits by using lease options.

I've spent that last two years preparing, saving, reading and educating myself through BP and several books for that one moment, that moment of pure ecstasy, the  moment I closed on a rental property.

Not trying to be a jerk but trying to save you from wasting a lot of time.

I was thinking I could consider the savings in down payment as his contribution to the deal, and allocate % ownership accordingly.  

I just want to maximize what  I can pull out.

I found that really interesting because  I thought all those syndicators were saving up money to cover those costs.But, keep in mind that is syndicators and they are looking to maximize the returns to their investors.

Currently, I'm depositing my reserve funds into a generic savings account.  

My girlfriend and I have stable jobs with the government and we max out our retirement accounts (TSP, Roth IRA, HSA), and we’re now looking for ways to deploy our extra, after-tax savings.
