Hi, I’m Aliya, an aspiring real estate investor in Orlando, FL, preparing for my first fix-and-flip project. I’m looking to shadow someone locally who’s actively flipping, so I can learn the process hands-on — from walkthroughs to contractor management to closing. I’m willing to help in any way I can — whether it’s running errands, assisting with numbers, or just observing. If you’re open to sharing your experience, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn from you. Let’s connect!

You find someone like the person you want to shadow by going to real estate investor meetups for 3-6 months and building relationships. How many investor friends do you have in your life? You want several before you start on your first fix-and-flip.

@Aliya Alexander-May Congrats on getting started. I would suggest going to REI meet ups to meet people and get to know them and how they work, what level of experience they have and if they can actually provide value to what you are looking for.
I would also suggest you come to CFRI (Central Florida Realty Investors) meetings. We have trades that cater to investors, investors and educational meetups that will be a huge help in getting started. We have a "Flipping 101" and "Woman in Real Estate" specialty meetings as well as several others each month.
Let me know if you'd like to come to a meeting and I can send a pass.

Hi @Aliya Alexander-May...My wife and I flip 10ish homes a year in Houston but moved to Orlando last August. Once we do our first in FL I'd be happy to run numbers with you, share contacts, and you could walk the property etc
