Work as an agent, learn the market, get your eyes on some deals, get connected, and start investing all at the same time. 

Your background in construction, inspections, and project management gives you a real advantage as you step into investing, especially with strategies like house hacking and distressed property deals where having that technical eye can make or break the investment.Your plan to start with a multifamily or dual-use property is smart-it allows you to offset your housing costs while building equity and gaining experience managing tenants.

BRRRR close to home is smart to keep an eye on things maybe start small to build confidence.

If you're keeping an eye on Miami, Downtown should be at the top of your watchlist.

I'd recommend connecting with local real estate agents, networking heavily, and keeping an eye out for landlords looking to offload.

In addition to Multifamily - I am keeping a close eye on any single family homes that have these upside opportunities.

I'll keep an eye on this as well - hadn't really looked into this area much before. 

Or if you wanted someone to get eyes on the property before acquiring to make sure nothing is missing from photos.

Experience in managing rentals in my target areas is essential, especially with an eye on maintaining high occupancy and keeping maintenance costs under control.👉 Wholesalers – I’m looking to connect with wholesalers who specialize in off-market deals and understand what makes a property a great BRRRR candidate.

I'd agree, combine the two.The CRM is its data is your mine and need to keep control over it.The CRM also allows you to keep an eye on the business and supervise the VAs.
