Fort Pierce Market??

[Marty True]

Hey BP'ers, I've been getting a lot of wholesale deals coming in to me in the Ft. Pierce area so I wanted to see if any investors in that area could give an overview of that market. I'm somewhat familiar with Ft. Pierce but not with the current market, from an investor's perspective.

Like, I know that most of the streets that are named with a single letter (Avenue D, Avenue E, etc.) are in 'D' class neighborhoods. How is the rental market there? How is it for fix/flips?

I drove around a bit and talked to a Ft Pierce Cop. He said he strongly would not recommend alphabet city. He said gangs control many areas and it would be dangerous to deal with them. Local knowledge is the key.
