Post: Ready to start full-time investing in Jacksonville, FL

I have recently arrived in Jacksonville, FL and in doing so, I am finally given the opportunity to start working on investing full-time.

I am an experienced remodeller and have previously done one flip as part of a group collaboration. 10 years of studying REI and now it's time to get this going for real!!

I am partnering with my uncle who has done a few investment properties in the past. We are now ready to jump in full-time and plan to start looking for fix and flip properties locally as our first line and then hope to transition over later into rental properties if all goes well.

Hoping to connect up with the various team members we will need on our journey.

Hi all. My name is Howard. I'm originally from England but have been in the States for over 11 years now. I moved from Austin, Tx last year to Cincinnati and am loving the city.

I am experienced in residential remodeling and custom cabinet making but am looking to really get my foot in the door with REI as I know that can provide me with the future I seek. But despite attending several seminars and training, the real world application has fallen well short with only 1 bird-dog commission from chasing pre-foreclosures.

I've found it hard to juggle a full-time job with trying to get started with no money in REI, LOL.

I look forward to learning from biggerpockets and hopefully kickstarting my career for real this time in a new city.

I'd love to hear from you and any advice on where is a good place to get started with limited time and very little spare money. And would definitely jump at the chance to shadow a seasoned investor in Cincinnati.

Thank you,

Howard
