I’m new to the real estate investing space and wanted to get your insights. Do you think buying pre-construction properties for the long term is a good investment strategy, either for appreciation or cash flow? What do you recommend, or what insights can you share based on your experience with this type of investment? (Tag me back so I can see the post) Thanks in advance!

@Chris Grenzig thanks for the insights! 

@Arman Ahmed Thanks! 

I’m curious how investors in Florida are shaping their buy box right now. Are you focusing more on cash flow or appreciation? Big cities like Miami and Orlando, or smaller towns? And what type of properties are fitting your buy box best in today’s market?

Looking for multifamily? Single family? Commercial? Condos?

Hey everyone,

I’m a very young (but legal age) aspiring investor from Miami. Within the next 8–12 months I’ll be receiving around half a million dollars, but not all at once — it will come in chunks (around 150k, 150k, 200k, etc.).

I’ve studied real estate heavily over the past months, so I understand the theory: financing, analyzing rental properties, cash flow, appreciation, deal structures, etc. The part I’m missing is real-world, hands-on experience. That’s what I want to build now so that when the funds arrive, I can actually put them to good use.

Right now, I’m attending networking events in Miami, but I feel a bit stuck:

• On one hand, I know networking is crucial.
• On the other, I don’t want to openly share with people that I’ll have significant capital soon. I worry that some might try to take advantage of me, or only see me as “money” rather than someone who wants to learn.

Do you think I should keep that private for now, or would being upfront actually help me make stronger connections faster?

I also realize I’d really benefit from a mentor — someone who’s been through the process and can help guide me as I step into the practical side. But again, I’m not sure how to approach potential mentors when right now I only bring knowledge and not much else.

From my research, I feel like smaller cities in Florida may offer better cash flow and appreciation opportunities than just focusing on Miami. But I’d love to hear your take:

• If you were in my shoes, how would you start building experience while waiting for the funds?
• Should I be more open about the capital I’ll soon have?
• How do you recommend finding a good mentor in this space?
• And what type of properties would you focus on first in Florida?

Any advice, stories, or even critical feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I am being looking around in Loopnet and Crexi for commercial properties that they still cashflow, I don't if it's the market in fl or what but most of these properties they just look like most of them they are not worth it, any advice? Maybe real state agents or wholesalers? More cold calling? Thanks.

@Drago Stanimirovic Sounds good, shoot me a text 

What are the rules of thumb to analyze a commercial property? How you analyze the neighborhood? I am a still new to this sector, I would love to hear all types of opinion. 
Thanks

As the title says, where can you look for those type for agent? I am being asking friends and most of the real state looks like they sell normal houses and they are not into investment rationed deals

Please tag me so I can look it back

What type of properties are the best in general? Type A, B ,C or D? I know there is no such thing as "best type of property" because it depends on the strategy, but I would love to hear the opinion from people with more experience than me since I am begginer. What strategies are doing better or have less risk? A, B high aprecciation price or C and D with cash flow? Maybe somewhere in the middle? Thanks
