About Monica Jerez

Buying your first investment property in Florida is one of the best financial decisions you can make. It\'s also one of the easiest to get wrong. I bought my first property in 1997, a new construction home in Guatemala City, while pregnant with my first son. Since then I\'ve invested across countries, made smart decisions, learned from costly mistakes, and built a portfolio that has given me real financial freedom. I\'ve been a Florida licensed real estate professional since 2003. I know this market, not just from data, but from personal experience on both sides of the transaction. What makes my approach different is the lens I bring to every client engagement. Before real estate consulting, I spent years as a corporate business executive leading teams, driving growth, solving complex problems, and making high-stakes decisions backed by data and market analysis. That background does not disappear when we sit down to evaluate a Florida property. It sharpens every conversation. I created “The Investment Property Blueprint” for professionals worldwide who are serious about investing in Florida but want to do it right, with a clear plan, real numbers, and someone who has been there. Together we work through: Your investment goals and readiness Market analysis: the right Florida city and neighborhood for your strategy Property analysis: cash flow, ROI, and true cost of ownership Problem-solving the obstacles that stop most first-time investors cold A step-by-step action plan before you make any commitment This is not a course. This is not a template. It is a done-with-you process built around your specific situation, combining 28 years of personal investing experience with executive-level analytical thinking. I work with professionals and investors from the U.S, Canada, Latin America, and around the world, remotely, in English and Spanish. If you are ready to invest in Florida with certainty, not guesswork, let\'s talk.
