Hello @Gene Principato,

The best advice I can give someone new to investing is to try your best to meet as many people in the industry as people. It really is who you know.

Try to go to as many local REIA meeting and meet ups as possible! Networking online and offline is critical.

Lastly, don't be scared to ask questions! Knowledge is power and not knowing the right answers or the right way to maneuver around a situation can make a flip a flop.

We've been in business for over 25 years and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out!

Best of luck!

Hello @Steeve Roberts

Try to go to as many local REIA meeting and meet ups as possible! Miami has REIA meeting tonight actually in Biscayne.

Hello @AL Brown,

HOA is a big factor. If you have a hefty monthly HOA fee, it's off putting for lenders. Some requiring a year's worth of HOA to be placed at closing.

Hello @Alex Balan

When is comes to investing in areas that our out of reach, I feel there are two crucial elements. If you don't have access to the MLS in that area I would suggest you consult with one that is familiar with the area and ask what the turnover rate is. Ask what the average time properties in that area are on the market.

Also, the right property manager in CRITICAL. The wrong PM can cost you more than you can imagine.

@Emmett Dempsey I would only fix and flip. Finding a decent cap rate in south florida is not easy unless it's in a challenged area.

Hello @Trent Tibbitts

The key to this equation is a qualified property manager in the area. The wrong property manager could ruin the deal.
