Quote from @Carleen Murone:

I agree with Jeff on the vacancy rates. I was just speaking with a property management company and he isn't having any trouble renting his units. One thing about Cape Coral is most SFH are not in gated communities so HOA's are not an issue. There are also several build-to-rent projects going on with builder financing deals snd some even offering perks like property management (even free for a period) so maintenance costs can be kept lower in the beginning years. North Port is a bit further from the projected growth boom that we will see in Cape Coral, and also Punta Gorda (airport and resort are brining in jobs and industry). Both Cape Coral and Punt Gorda, and possibly parts of Port Charlotte, will have growth of young families due to these jobs. Feel free to contact me to discuss further.


 If you price it at the market, it rents. Many of these BTR groups are pitching higher rents to get the deals to cash flow on paper.

Quote from @Yulia Volokhina:

Thank you for the insight. 

The website Businessobserverfl mentions that rental vacancy rates in Cape Coral is 15.3%. Does it sound right for the LTRs there?


 It is not that high. I have pretty detailed datasets, I rarely can replicate the medias "data"

Quote from @Chris Rogers:

Good Sunday afternoon everyone! I am a rookie investor looking to network and learn here. I do not have any investment properties currently, only my primary residence. I live in SWFL and work in the commercial insurance field as an agent/advisor. For SWFL locals, I would like to discuss your tactics in this current market, where prices are still way up and rates are as well. I cannot seem to find any deals in the region that make any sense- or are even close to making sense. I have discovered a market 5 hours north of me in Valdosta, GA where the numbers seem to make a lot more sense. I would love to network and learn from any investors in either market. 

I look forward to meeting fellow BP members, this seems like a fantastic resource.

Quote from @Brandon O.:

We have a partially complete 4 bedroom new home build in Cape Coral and are considering changing contractors. Doors and windows are in and we are in rough mechanicals. Does anyone have any recommendations for quality contractors? Thanks in advance!


 There are a few builders having issues. Some will make it, some will not. For some of the builders, this is not the first time they have done this, lol.

Make sure you do plenty of Due Dilly on the next, so you are not jumping from the "frying pan to the fire" so to speak.

How far along is the build?

Cape Coral has changed so much in the last cycle. There are a lot of opportunities but also some pitfalls. 

If you are buying land, watch the environmental. Also, take note of the UEP zone.

Quote from @Yana Rishkovoy:

Hi all,

Our new build will be finished in Cape Coral in a few months and I'm shopping for insurance quotes. Can you help and clarify what type of insurance I should have? Is it both liability and property coverage? Is it the same as umbrella insurance? thank you!


 You should have a layer of insurance. HOI and a general liability policy. Also, require the tenants to have renters insurance.

This issue is about to be forefront, as many such groups are on the same trajectory.
