 Hi Giuseppe, great to meet you. I'd love to connect sometime and discuss your operations in the local market. Have a great week!

 Hi Clark, we are focusing on fix and flips at the moment.

Thanks@Jake Yuskaitis, appreciate the insight!

@Tyler Gibson Thanks very much, Tyler!

@Chris Seveney Thanks Chris, we're looking to minimize our financial exposure here in the beginning stages until we can acquire some capital. RTL bridge looks like something we'll track for the future.

@Drew Sygit Hey Drew, my partner is originally from the Detroit area and was previously aware of Sanborn Construction, a construction company building tons of properties in the Pontiac area

@Jason Taken Thanks Jason, will do. What's the biggest change you've seen in the Central Florida market in the past six months?

Hi all,

My business partner and I are exploring financing strategies for two distinct investment approaches and would greatly value input from this community:

• Central Florida (Orlando metro – Clermont, Winter Garden, Leesburg, Maitland): We’re focused on flips/rehabs and are evaluating how other investors have leveraged hard money or creative financing in this market.

• Pontiac, Michigan: We’re exploring a “Build to Sell” strategy—purchasing land and working with a construction partner to build single-family homes for resale.

Specifically, we’re hoping to hear about your experiences with:

• Typical LTV ratios lenders are offering in these markets

• Whether your lender was willing to roll holding/closing costs into the initial loan

• How many points lenders required on the backend

• Any unique structures you’ve used (creative financing, joint ventures, etc.) that worked well

We’d love to connect with investors who have navigated these financing routes—what worked, what didn’t, and which lenders or approaches you found most effective.

Looking forward to learning from your experiences, and happy to share details on our approach if it helps the discussion.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, my business partner and I are new real estate investors in the Orlando, Florida area looking to focus on flips, rehabs, and rentals in the Central Florida market. If you're in our neck of the woods, we'd love to connect in-person! Have a great week everyone!
