New investor - looking for first flip - South Florida

Hello everyone,

I have been reading posts here for a few months now and have probably always desired to get into real estate. I remember as a 16 year old watching Carlton Sheets infomercials and knew it was something I wanted to do. (I know to steer clear of "gurus" but he did capture my attention at a young age).

Fast forward and I am now 38 and looking to finally dive in.

I have $20k put aside to "test" my ability with and I have a relative partner who can probably match that if needed. I am not employed at the moment, although my wife earns mid 60s and we have 660'ish credit scores with a BK7 on record 2 years ago.

I live in South Florida, near Fort Lauderdale in Davie and established a non-profit a few years ago with intent to rehab/flip houses or possibly build on vacant land given by a local city top develop on.

Aside from that, I am hoping to meet someone form the area who has been "down this road before" and would maybe be willing to at a minimum have lunch with me to give me some professional advice.

Anyhow, nice to "meet" everyone!

Arthur
