Hey Everyone,

I’m a licensed agent based in South Florida, mostly covering West Palm to Miami. Lately, I’ve been stepping back from traditional agent work and going deeper into underwriting and deal analysis . Mostly small multifamily properties like duplexes, triplexes, and quads.

I'm constantly running numbers and flagging overlooked deals with strong ARV or conservative cash-flow upside. I'm looking to connect with other agents who are investor-focused, whether you're working with house hackers, buy-and-hold clients, or looking for a good deal.

Would love to trade notes, share ideas, or even collaborate if you're working with investor clients and want an extra set of eyes on deals.

Open to connecting... Shoot me a message if you're in the space.

Hi Katie! I reached out privately. Would love to get in contact.

Hey everyone,

I'm based in South Florida and spend a lot of my time underwriting multifamily deals (mostly duplexes, triplexes, quads).

I genuinely enjoy running numbers and digging into the details... cash flow analysis, rent comps, renovation estimates, etc.

If anyone ever wants a second set of eyes on a deal, I'm always happy to connect, compare notes, or just look over the numbers.

Not selling anything, just love the process and always learning.

Excited to be here and looking forward to meeting others doing the same!

Been helping a few investors run numbers on smaller duplexes and triplexes lately around Hollywood/Miami and Dania in SoFlo.
Seeing a lot of stuff priced high with weak rent comps, but there are a few rehab deals that are sitting.

I’m trying to figure out if it makes more sense to lean into light rehab stuff for better upside or just grab something stabilized at a fair price.
Curious how aggressive you guys are getting with light rehabs vs turnkey plays right now.

@Nicholas L. Ok! I knew it could get a little messy. But I guess my thought process was my friends wanted to House Hack as well & splitting the financial weight could be beneficial as a stepping stone. I will look into doing it myself though!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to start off by saying how excited I am to be a part of the BiggerPockets community. I recently began my real estate career in the Palm Beach/Broward area as an agent, and I'm especially interested in specializing in real estate investing.

I’ve really enjoyed learning, networking, and crunching numbers to help others and I’m also now stepping into this world of opportunity myself. I’m 21 and blessed to be in a position to purchase my first investment property within the next year or two!

Right now, I’m focused on a house hacking strategy with trusted friends as a stepping stone. My goal is to stop burning cash on rent and build a foundation for long-term investing. I’d love to connect with other investors and gain insight from people more experienced than me.

My Game Plan

Primary Plan:
I'm planning to house hack a multifamily property with two friends using an FHA loan. We're looking to put in around $20K–$30K each for the down payment and closing costs. All three of us would live in one unit and rent out the other, splitting the mortgage and responsibilities equally.

Secondary Opportunity (Brother):
I'm also helping my 23-year-old brother house hack a separate smaller Multifamily. He'll be the sole borrower on his FHA loan and live in one unit with his girlfriend. I'll contribute toward the down payment and monthly costs in exchange for equity, but I won't be on the loan so I can still qualify for my own FHA purchase.

Financially, we’re both in great shape no debt, steady income, and some solid savings/investments. Just looking to make sure my plan makes sense both legally and financially, and would love any advice or direction from the community.
