i took an early retirement after 25+ years in sales and marketing for a Fortune 500 company. I recently received my Florida real estate sales associates license, which I hope will be useful as an investor.
I am located in South Florida (Ft. Lauderdale area) and I have been a commercial real estate investor since 2005 with properties located outside of Florida. However, I am interested in diversifying my real estate investments into residential buy and flip. My goal initially is to turn about 5-6 properties annually. Since residential investing is new to my real estate experiences, I want to learn more about the following:
Financing options for investors beyond traditional bank lending.
Sources to find great residential investment properties
Recommendations on building the right team of partners to engage in the flip process
I am very excited about growing my investor network in South Florida.
He expounds on everything you need to know about flipping houses, including how to build a great team.
Here are a few more tips to help you get the most out of BP:
Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other South Florida investors).
Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in.
I'm an active investor and agent up in Orlando, but have a partner in West Palm with whom I am actively looking at South Florida properties, so feel free to reach out anytime.

Great to have you here on BP and in South Florida. I'm an agent investor myself and I recently moved to the Ft. Lauderdale area. I'm currently looking for local offline meetups/opportunities for networking in real estate investing here in South Florida. If I find any that I think are good I will send you a PM.
Thank you all for your responses to my joining bigger pockets. So sorry it has taken me so very long to respond. I joined the sight and really didn’t use it for the last 4 years. However, this year I am getting back on track to diversify my real estate holdings. My focus currently is on education and identifying locations in Florida that have the best values for real estate investors. I am located in South Florida, where real estate is grossly over priced based on my observations.
