Hi everyone. I just signed the purchase agreement for a new single family home., and i want to start building a real estate support/team. I tried to connect with an investor friendly realtor using bigger pockets, but I was not able to connect with someone that was a seasoned investor, as well as a realtor., so i ended up picking someone ramdom from zillow, and did some of the leg work mysel. If you know anyone in the following categories, please pass me down their information. in the jacksonville fl area, i am looking for a realtor that is also an active investor in the area and knows the market, contractors that you had good experiences with, a CPA that has expernece working with investor.

Congrats on your new deal, Elvin!
For an investor-savvy team in Jacksonville, local meetups and REI groups are your best bet for finding a realtor who actually invests, plus trusted contractors and CPAs.

Welcome and congrats on your purchase! Are you going to self-manage? I'm a little shocked you did not find a good/experienced investment realtor on here. We definitely have some good ones in Jax to choose from. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Good luck!
Hi Ken, and thanks for the response. When I was connected to realtors using the BP web, they were not investors. They were realtors. When was the last time you used that system?
I may get someone to help me manage it. I have not closed on the house yet, so we will see.

Hi Elvin. Congrats on getting under contract! That's a huge first step. I am an active investor and we have a real estate and property management company. Our head agent @Michael Braddock invests himself and our team does the managing as well. Our company is Thirdstone Properties. We manage 500+ units in Jacksonville at the moment. We have connections with any vendor you need. For a CPA our client @Basit Siddiqi has a ton of experience with investors and is an investor himself as well. I'll send you a DM :)
