Quote from @Kyle Wegg:

I thought to open a new thread about Blacktip Construction Group who has taken peoples deposits. Many people were recommended to Blacktip Construction by RTR and SWFL Advisors. More of more people have been bringing up the fact that Jeff Beach has taken money from them. There was a investment that was advertised by RTR and SWFL Advisors and they referred us over to Blacktip Construction Group. We were told to buy lots and then sign contracts to build with Blacktip. Jeff Beach the owner has taken deposits for over 2 years from clients. He is known not to answer his phone, rarely respond to email and has multiple litigation's against him. If you have had problems or been a victim of his company this would be a great opportunity to share your story and come together. He took 56k from us, justified it and only pulled permits.

I too had a RTR build to through a different contractor that after 16 months wasn't permitted.  Fortunately I was able to get out of my contract with comparatively minimal loss.  Curious to know, do investors have any claims/rights with RTR?

Best is to get 3 quotes from contractors off of google with good reviews and go from there 


 Jacob - That's great input, thank you!

Hey @Neal Coppola, I'd recommend America's Perfect Home (https://www.americasperfecthome.com/) or Precision Painting & Construction (https://www.precisionpnw.com/). Edward's the contact for APH and Andrey's the contract for Precision. We work with them both regularly and they do great work. Feel free to mention you were referred by Chroma Property Management if you'd like.

Good luck!

 Kurt - thanks for the recommendations!

Quote from @Brandon O.:

Has anyone else had a negative experience with a Rent to Retirement new build in Cape Coral? There have been multiple delays and price escalations from the home builder and very poor communication. We are out of country and having a very difficult time knowing what is going on on the ground. The local agent that was present at the beginning of the project had gone completely silent.

Brandon - 

Back in 2021 I entered into a new build contract brokered by them and after 14 months into a 18-24 month anticipated timeline I had not yet been issued a building permit.  I chose to forfeit my deposit and walk away from the project.   Best decision I could have made!   Unfortunately I do not have any advise, but to answer your initial question, absolutely YES.

Quote from @Joe R.:

@Adam Bartomeo I was reviewing the February 2024 market stats for Cape Coral and am seeing that available inventory is now down to 6.8 months.  Is this a blip on the radar or is the trend shifting again in your opinion? 

I know that on my land listings, which are numerous, activity and pending deals have picked up bigly in the past 2 weeks.  


 A- I love that you used the word "bigly".

B- Thanks for the updated insight.

 You're not kidding, that's a great price!  Guess I'll be hanging on to my lot for a while.  Thanks for sharing.

@Neal Coppola Normally, land is the first to get hit but due to all of the builders and buying lots it has not slowed down as much yet. But, it will. I just listed 2 freshwater canal lots that are the lowest price in Cape Coral. We will see it they sell and how long it will take.


 Curious about the lots that you listed.  Are you able to share the addresses?

Thank you for your very clear and concise insight.  Would it be safe to assume that vacant land would follow the same trendlines/sediment as single family in Cape Coral?

Quote from @Jose Lacayo:

Hi everyone,

I’m on the fence of pulling the trigger on a build with Delta in North Port. My permits are ready for pick up and it’s been 13 months since giving 5 percent deposit. I purchased the lot two years ago. I’ve paid 15k already but do not have a good feeling as their customer service has been abysmal. I’ve bought three homes in Arizona since purchasing the lot in North Port and the difference between dealing with Delta and a national builder has been night and day. I’ve been given the clear to close but am experiencing cold feet. If given the opportunity, would any of you use them again? 


 Jose - feel free to reach out to me via PM if you would like to chat regarding my experience with what sounds like a very similar situation.
