Hi Everyone!

My name is Jaime and I'm located in the Tampa Bay area, specifically St. Pete, FL.  I'm a real estate investor and interior designer. I specialize in design for flips/new builds. I'm looking to build connections with other investors, agents, and contractors. 

I purchased my first distressed property at 25. I lived there while I made repairs and sold for a significant profit 2 years later and now I'm addicted! Since then, I have purchased one rental property in St. Pete and I'm currently doing another live in flip (that might become a rental as well, depending on the market). 

At the end of March, I purchased my first official flip in St.Pete. I'm planning to finish rehab in 3 months with the idea to list by July 1. I hope I will be in the position to find my next property once this one complete. 

I look forward to meeting more like-minded people and making connections! 

Jaime

    @Jaime Elkins I am going to be moving to St Pete with exactly the same thing in mind! I’m actually currently working on selling my house this summer and then finding a nice multi-family house hack to refurb and rent. Would love to connect around investing in St Pete. I visited Gulfport recently and totally loved that cute little area!

    @Travis Richardson I'd love to connect! You will love the St. Pete area. I moved here 5 years ago from the FL panhandle and so happy that I did. Gulfport is so cute – a hidden gem! Looking forward to connecting and happy to help if you questions about the area or I can connect you with my realtor.

    @Jaime Elkins, just shot you a connection.  I just closed on my first buy/hold in St. Pete and am always looking for some boots on the ground.

    @Jaime Elkins - Gulfport is definitely a hidden gem, one of my favorite places to work/flip.

    @Jaime Elkins awesome! Ya, I’d be curious on networking groups, real estate investors associations, for one, and any other ways of connecting to the community before I move!
