**Hey everyone,
My name is Sara and I’m excited to join the BiggerPockets community.
I’m an active real estate investor working mainly in Florida and Ohio, focusing on off-market single-family and small multifamily deals. I spend most of my time analyzing leads, talking with sellers, and connecting with other investors who are also actively doing deals.
I’m here to learn, network, and add value wherever I can whether it’s sharing market insights, running numbers together, or discussing deal structure.
Always open to connecting with:
• Buyers
• Wholesalers
• Rehabbers
• Private lenders
• Anyone actively doing business
Looking forward to meeting more people here and hopefully collaborating on future deals.**
Since you’re already active in OH, focusing on off-market single-family and small multifamily deals in these regions can be a strong strategy, ,these markets often offer undervalued, cash-flowing opportunities that are easier to manage than high-cost coastal areas, ,happy to connect and exchange insights, run numbers together, and explore potential opportunities to collaborate
I am here in St. Petersburg as well and work with a lot of investors Nationwide but mostly focus on FL, IN, OH, TN, NC and a few other states due to price point and better cash flow deals.
Feel free to check out my profile and add me to your Network!

Hey Jason, nice to connect!
I spend a lot of time working with investors in FL and OH as well, so always great meeting someone who’s active in similar markets. I’ll definitely check out your profile and add you to my network.
If you ever need help sourcing off-market leads or want to compare notes on what’s working lately, feel free to reach out. I’ve tested pretty much every lead gen method out there for myself and for the investors I support — and honestly, consistent direct outreach has been the strongest performer for us.
Happy to connect and hopefully collaborate on something soon!

Hi Sara! I'm in St.Petersburg and an investor/lender. I'd love to connect and hear about your goals and how I can contribute. If you don't already go to investor meetups around the area, happy to share some of my favorites.

Hey! Great to connect. Always nice meeting another active investor/lender here in St. Pete.
I’d love to connect and learn more about what you’re working on as well. I focus a lot on sourcing off-market opportunities for investors, so I’m always in conversations with sellers and running different outreach strategies.
I do hit a few local meetups, but I’m sure there are ones I haven’t tried yet. Feel free to share your favorites, I’m always open to expanding my circle here.
Looking forward to chatting more and seeing how we might be able to help each other.
Hi Sara, do you do any rentals or take a different approach in investing?
Hey! I do look at rentals from time to time, but most of my work is focused on finding strong off-market opportunities for investors.
I spend a lot of time generating leads, talking with sellers, and running direct outreach. That’s been the most consistent approach for me and for the investors I support.
So my strategy is a bit different: I usually source the deals first, then decide whether it makes sense to keep it as a rental or pass it to another investor.
Always open to hearing how others structure their deals though!
Hi Sara, welcome to the community!
FL and OH are great markets for off-market deals, especially with the mix of SFR and small multis you're focusing on.
If you ever want to connect about seller outreach or investor activity in those markets, feel free to reach out — always happy to share insights and learn from others doing deals.

Thank you! Really appreciate the warm welcome.
You’re right. FL and OH have been strong for me, especially on the off-market side. I spend a lot of my time on seller outreach and direct conversations, so I’m always happy to compare notes with others who are active in these markets.
If you ever want to chat about what you’re seeing on your end or share insights, I’m definitely open. Always good connecting with people who are actually doing deals.
Welcome to the community, Sara — great to see another operator focused on off-market deals 👋
Florida and Ohio are both interesting markets right now, especially for small multis. Are you seeing more seller motivation lately or still a lot of hesitation on price adjustments?
I spend a lot of time on similar activities — qualifying sellers, digging into motivation, and making sure deals actually pencil before moving forward. Always glad to connect with people who are actively doing the work rather than just talking about it.
If you ever want to compare notes on lead flow, seller conversations, or deal structuring, feel free to reach out. It’s always valuable exchanging perspectives with people working in the same trenches.
Looking forward to seeing your contributions here and hopefully collaborating down the road.
One of the major differences I have found moving from Connecticut to Florida is that wood frame houses are a key factor to rehab, price, and concern while buying a home. Termites and hurricanes seem to be the main cause of investors/buyers concerns.
I am curious what you are using to comp deals among working in different states?
