I am Darius here at Salvation. Army I am the veteran that am interested in shared housing.

Hello,

My name is Shaun, and I’m from Winter Haven in Polk County, Florida. I’m a first-time real estate investor looking to build a relationship with an experienced real estate agent who specializes in multifamily properties.

My goal is to purchase a 3- or 4-unit property in Polk County or the surrounding area for around $300,000. I plan to live in one of the units while renting out the others as an investment.

I’m currently saving for my down payment and expect to be ready to buy around the end of this year or sometime next year. I’m still exploring the best financing option, whether that’s an FHA loan or another loan program that would be the best fit for my situation.

I’m also an over-the-road truck driver, so I’m away from Florida much of the time. Because of that, most of my communication will be by email, text message, phone calls, or FaceTime. Even though I’m on the road, my mother still lives in Winter Haven, and I return to Polk County regularly.

I’d like to start learning more about the market and build a relationship with an agent who can help guide me through the buying process. If you have any current or upcoming 3- or 4-unit listings that fit what I’m looking for, I’d appreciate it if you could send them to me.

I also have a couple of questions:

* Do you work with first-time multifamily investors?
* Do you have any preferred lenders who are experienced with FHA house hacking or multifamily financing?
* Is there anything you recommend I do now to better prepare myself before I’m ready to purchase?

I’m serious about buying when the time is right and would love to establish a good working relationship ahead of time.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together.

Best regards,

Shaun
Winter Haven, Florida
