I am from Venezuela and moved into the U.S only 11 months ago at the age of 21, as soon as I arrived I started learning Real Estate, I am an Engineer so numbers are my thing, so after a few months of hardcore preparation, I obtained my Real Estate License and quickly applied my knowledge and tools to Real Estate Investing.I found this deal after several weeks of nonstop door-knocking in Miami, it was hundreds of doors knocked and rejections before I was able to find this hidden gem.This property was in pre-foreclosure status when I found it.Here is how the deal went down:Purchase Price: $99,800 + Closing Cost: $3200Rehab: $50,000 ARV: $250,000Description: 3/1 SFH in OK condition in a fast growing area in Miami, full interior rehab was done. several comps of similar properties in the area have sold between $230,000-$280,000 price range.

Know the other fair housing laws as well.I'm in a Facebook group for landlords.

The old manager only marketed through Facebook so we were missing a significant amount of traffic that could have been driven to the property using other avenues to market the property.

Many of the victims were people who either did not have legal residence status or whom English was not their primary language.

It's also worth noting that I would have to work for years in REI to match my current status and compensation.Happy to talk anytime about my experience.

Facebook has groups that have people looking for a place to stay all the time.My finacial advisor actually referred me to a brother and sister that still lives with me and it has worked out great!

Find that group on Facebook.
