Newbie from Baltimore to Orlando
Hello to all, I'm new to real estate investing and bigger pockets. I am a retired nurse looking for some financial freedom. I currently live west of Baltimore, Maryland but I will be relocating to the Orlando area within the next year. Initially I am looking to make some capital by purchasing distressed properties in these areas and either assigning the purchase contract to, or immediately re-selling the asset to a contractor or other investor to rehab and resell or to hold as rental property.
Sounds like a simple enough plan, and one I'm sure many of you have made. So I need cash buyers, "investor friendly" real estate agents. and of course properties, in that order. So far i seem to find plenty of properties for which the numbers look good but my greatest challenges seem to be finding cash buyers and "investor" friendly agents.
I have a lot to learn so I'm open to everyone's expertise. Thanks in advance. Kathi

Welcome to bigger pockets first off. I run a investment real estate company in the Central Florida area. We constantly have an inventory of houses that we sell off to investors and work with them the same way you are talking about. I have a buyers list and we have hard money lenders that they can talk to if they don't have enough cash to buy outright. Let me know if I can help.
