I also put all of the materials for the project on credit cards (don't recommend) so I was about $30,000 in credit card debt before I finished and paid off my debts.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat.

I know there are networking groups like ACRE and Pittsburgh REIA but I get the feeling that I'll be paying a membership fee to get talked at for a couple hours which is not what I'm looking for.

It is definitely possible to get a fix & flip/hold purchase loan on something like this but on a conversion such as this one you will definitely need a contractor or some subs for the experience factor and all-star credit so lender can feel confident that the project can be completed.

I'm currently doing 3 month trial leases and if they feel it's a good fit, they can extend to a longer term lease or do a month to month and a higher rate.

Also feel free to contact me as I am looking for like minded individuals that may be able to bring value to each other.

🇺🇸❤️🇮🇹Thanks Liam  Could you share with us how you're feeling about your current experience in  the real estate market, particularly in Miami dade and Broward county and Pal m beach county?

Feel free to DM.

I was interested in doing this because it feels like I won't ever get into the market.

Making that first investment in real estate can feel like a big leap, especially when you're considering factors like your savings, potential risks, and the market conditions.
