@Phil Wrigley,

I would be happy to discuss the Sarasota vacation market with you sometime. Plenty of opportunity here and some new zoning laws that benefit investors.

Good Afternoon @Jeremy Marek,

I work with investors in the Sarasota Area currently I have ongoing relationships with two companies in NY and one from CA that pick up properties. I would like to have a discussion with you in regards to what your goals are in the Multifamily sector. Such as price per door, number of units, acquisition price, etc. I will be sending you my contact info through the messenger. Send me a text or email and we can set a time to speak tomorrow. Thank you in advance for your time, and  I look forward to speaking with you.

Good Afternoon @Lance S.

So to clarify you are looking for commercial lenders to speak with in addition to getting a clear understanding as to to valuation of the Professional space (I have a few depending on what your goals are). I would need to know the area you are looking in to speak more on the valuation. Also I can make myself, my attorney, and my contractor available to you for questions and would be happy to speak with you further on this matter. I am available 7 days a week from 9am-9pm. Please reach out over email. Smithst09 @ Gmail.com. My office is located near downtown off of Fruitville Road. Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Evening @Account Closed,

What is your acquisition price for the fix and flips and what type of return are you looking for? There are plenty of areas in Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, St Pete, and more but its all dependent on what your financial goals are with real estate. I have seen quite a few Multi Family units hitting the market and have been working with 2 clients who are buying and flipping apartments and anything 4 units or larger. There are quite a few individuals who are buying bringing up the value and holding the properties which is a great strategy and seems your leaning in that direction. If you ever want to discuss some of the market condition or whats out there feel free to reach out at anytime.
