Identifying areas in southern Florida

[Drew Mullin]

Hi beginner for fix and flips. I need help. Anyone in southern Florida that could offer advice - def not looking for some program etc. 
would it make sense to try and partner with someone so someone else could help with identifying properties and both kindof would profit monetarily as well as stand at risk? 

is Florida too right do I need to look at other states. Help plz. lol

Just make sure it’s someone who actually does deals in the area, not just talks about them.

Florida isn’t “too hot” to get into, but it’s definitely competitive, especially in places like Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. You might have better luck looking in smaller cities or suburbs where prices aren’t as inflated but there’s still demand.

Also, before jumping in, run the numbers carefully material and labor costs can be high, and flipping timelines sometimes stretch longer than planned. A local mentor or JV partner can really help you spot those risks before you buy.
