Hi everyone,

I’m a first-time homebuyer and aspiring real estate investor based in Orlando, FL. I’m currently exploring opportunities to acquire my first rental property using creative financing strategies—such as owner financing, rent-to-own, or value-add approaches like BRRRR or house hacking.

My goal is to get started with minimal upfront costs by leveraging smart deal structures and hands-on value creation. As I continue learning the ropes, I’d greatly appreciate insights and connections from:

• Private or hard money lenders open to working with first-time investors
• Experienced investors who have successfully completed no- or low-money-down deals
• Anyone familiar with the Orlando rental market or local down payment assistance programs

I’m highly motivated, proactive, and currently scouting properties across the greater Orlando area. If you’re open to connecting, offering advice, or possibly partnering on a deal, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance—excited to grow and contribute within this amazing community!
