I'm a retired Army guy that has spent the last 4 years in my new capacity as a financial advisor for an independent firm. I'm intrigued by the different strategies real estate offers to create passive income / cash flow. I'm hoping to learn a great deal here as I prepare to acquire my first property. Thank you in advance for all the "learnin'"!

Welcome to The Site! @Chad Jones. Make sure you check out the local REIA's meetings. @Adrian Smude is the man to know in those parts, anywhere east of ol' I75. Also make sure you check out the podcasts and keep up with the forums. Good Luck.

    @Chad Jones although we've already connected I wanted to welcome you to BP.  I believe being in Plant City puts us in a great location to work the Lakeland market as well as East Hillsborough (Brandon and parts of Tampa).

    @Chad Jones welcome to BP.  I've been a professional real estate investor and wholesaler in Lakeland for 6 years, doing rentals, fix and flips and providing quality wholesale deals to cash flow investors.  I do about 60 or so properties a year on average and would love to help you learn a good deal from a bad one and get you your first deal when you are ready!

    Exciting times, congratulations. Best advice I can give you is to stay over 1.2 DSCR and shoot for 1.5 or greater.

    Hi Chad, I found your post doing a search for "Plant City". I'm new to BP and have been investing in RE since 2013. I'm happy to share from my experience. Also, I'm interested to know more about Plant City, as I have been seeing some interesting properties there, but know little about it. I've bought in Orlando and Jacksonville. Out-of-state. Living in California. Would love to chat. Thanks
