Newbie investing in Florida

[Carlos Gonzalez]

Hi, My name is Carlos Gonzalez, I'm 19 years old and I want to start investing in the state of Florida. I came to BiggerPockets since I first purchased the BRRRR strategy book from David Greene which mentioned this great community. Right now I live in Puerto Rico, that means I am investing Out-of-State. My main goal now is to start flipping properties, to start getting to know the market and to build capital. Once I can grasp how it all works, I'd like to get to the BRRRR strategy so I can start a big portfolio throughout the years. I have a budget of $112,000 to buy and rehab properties, this is what I want to start and building my way up to bigger properties and bigger profits.
