Yes it would be great to recreate your success on an island...local knowledge rules.  Give Brandon (@BeardyBrandon)  a chance to provide a few of those local pearls.

Aloha

@ Carly Lynch, I'm replying to your post in hopes that it gets some traction.

The answer to this question would be valuable for me too. I"ll stay tuned for sure.

Thanks

Melanie,

Fantastic! not only did you buy right but sold right too...We use flat fee listings whenever possible too.

Knowing the value of dirt in your market certainly paid off.

Kudos!

Great for you Dennis. Looks like other investors missed the opportunity and you are benefiting.

Congrats!

@Tyler Bobo,  the 'it depends' answer might apply here. 

I live in a pretty hot market so I always look for off market potentials via direct marketing.

In the past 2 years I have had an every 6-8 week marketing campaign for some SFHs that ultimately went to other investors. Likely they were more aggressive (read we are heavy on professional wholesalers here), so possibly the direct marketing approach may need a tweek that is driven by your target market.  

Learning this has taken follow up and diligence, but its been better than continuing on the same path.

Good luck and be sure to post when you close a deal..it's very inspiring to other members :)

You'd think there would be something in the networking / events ...

John,

Have you been able to find / close on a place?

Send me a PM if you are still looking, I have an idea.

Do you really want to buy in south Florida,

The expected flood and hazzard insurance rates with adjusted flood maps can make that a worrisome proposition. 

I'm not buying in west central FL any longer and it is 200+miles north

Duplex in safe b to b+ neighborhoods would be best if you can find one should you choose to stay. You'll always want to move up but the mortgage benefits will continue.

Good luck,

@ John K,  yes there are 2 vent lines.  Thanks so much for this immensely valuable reply. This sounds very doable. You are a lifesaver.

Salina, Sorry for your trouble.

I'm having a similar problem in a SFH (Florida)- can only be described as a nightmare.

Wish I could help but i have yet to find a plumber capable of fixing the crack / hole under the slab. Ive spent over 500. in photo diagnostic efforts and not even a quote.

Good luck, something we both need.
