June 2024 Lee County Florida Foreclosure Report

The June 2024 Lee County Foreclosure Report was complied by Jeff Tumbarello, Director SWFL REIA , Broker/Owner Steelbridge Realty LLC Principal , Venture Investment Partners

• This is my work, done for me and shared with you
• The data in the report came from multiple sources.
  • Those sources are:
    The Lee County Clerk of Court, and MLS data (from my membership as the Broker of Steelbridge Realty LLC)

We haven’t published this report in a while as the market trajectory previously rendered this dataset less crucial for forward-looking decisions. However, the current shifts in the market conditions have made this report relevant again. We update this data monthly.

You are trying to invest in real estate, while they are merely traders looking to sell. Many wholesalers don't own any assets themselves, so how can you expect them to truly understand the market? I commend their effort for getting up and taking action, but many don't do the necessary homework and instead rely on YouTube gurus.

Occasionally, you can find great deals from a wholesaler, but be prepared to spend a lot of time sifting through subpar offers to uncover the gems.
