19 y/o Investor Planning to Start in South Florida at 24 — Looking for Advice + Conne

Ralph Riche
Posted

I’m 19 and currently saving aggressively with the goal of buying my first house hack in South Florida at age 24.

By then I expect to have between $70,000–$100,000 saved, with strong credit and no debt. My strategy is to start with an FHA duplex or triplex to reduce my living costs and generate rental income. My long-term goal is to build a portfolio of 10+ cash-flowing units by 30, eventually transitioning into bigger multifamily or BRRRR deals once I have more experience.

Right now, I’m focused on learning as much as possible. I’m especially looking for:

  • Advice from people who’ve house hacked or invested in South Florida
  • Connections to investor-friendly agents, lenders, or contractors
  • Any tips or tools that helped you build confidence early in your journey

If you’ve got insight or experience in the South Florida market (especially Broward, Homestead, or West Palm), I’d love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

Ralph,

The best way to connect is in person. Head over to the Events section on the BiggerPockets website.

Check out the Investor Clubs too. Ask how you can add value or partner on a deal—it's a great way to learn and build relationships.

There’s an event this Tuesday in Miami. The speaker is just 24 years old and already owns 1 to 3 properties through house hacking and co-living strategies. He’s also wholesaled over 15 homes.

Message me for details—it's in Miami.
