I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Jodey Rifenburg and I am a certified residential contractor here in the panhandle of Florida. I have been building here for the last few years and am experienced in designing and building within our market, usually as specs but do keep clients if they fit my business model. I am currently finishing up 3 large duplexes in a LTR/STR area 1 mile from beach access, that will be on the market this week if anyone is interested in more information, just let me know. I'm familiar with cash investments, hard money loans and prefer to use my local banks and credit unions. I also own a second company that creates and manages STR here locally. I'm leaning more about house hacking and gathering information on investor strategies for some of the younger women I mentor.

For those who have not visited Panama City, FL. It is a trip! My client has a beach house there he rents out on a short term basis. I've had the pleasure of staying there. It is great.
I have a building company that specializes in STR/LTR designs and upgraded spec SFH and MFH. I'm learning a great amount from others and am growing towards the need. We also own a maintenance management company for STR to assist in less down time for rentals in the PCB area and we are branching out to the STR management opportunity in the near future. We would love to cultivate these three duplexes to be turned into a business so it can be sold as a business and not just beautiful opportunities.

Hey Jodey, we just finished three duplex's out on the west end of Panama City beach to keep for STRs. What are the chances lol. Ours are in Laguna beach off of Malaga. Congrats on your builds. We just rolled ours to perm and pulled out all the money we had in the deal. Had an issue with finding any comps for the bank. We ended up going through 3 banks and 4 appraisals but got it closed last week.! Here's a link to one of them for your viewing pleasure lol. https://airbnb.com/h/209ard
