Most first-timers get tripped up by underestimating rehab costs or taking on too much at once.Since you’re targeting 2026, use this time to build your team—agent, lender, contractor, CPA—so you’re not scrambling once you find the right deal.

One-stop shop (agent + title + private lender).For a first flip, having the entire team already assembled can remove a ton of friction.

Is a trip to the area required or should I be able to switch Property Managers from afar fairly easily?

We are starting to see the market soften a bit which means more carrier options for us to shop.

Augustine choose Palatka for its lower cost of living.On top of that, Bass Pro Shops is preparing to break ground on a 5,000-acre resort in Putnam County, which is a strong indicator of future economic growth.I’ve wholesaled several homes in Palatka myself and have seen values steadily appreciating.

Cut back on the trips, eating out, I even did Uber a few hours every weekend.

Happy to talk shop or discuss your deals anytime.Cheers!

in 2024 completed a 2 story detached ADU which includes a fully insulated large 2 car garage/shop with half bath, and a custom 2 bed/1ba apartment above (not builder grade, pretty fancy).  

It seems that the ever-increasing Airbnb and VRBO fees are finally moving the needle, causing guests to shop for direct bookings.  

I love designing “executive-ready” units…But many hosts think they need to spend $10k+ to make it happen.Not true.Here’s what actually matters:✅ workspace✅ fast internet✅ blackout curtains✅ comfortable mattress✅ clean + neutral aestheticSkip the luxury decor shopping spree.How have you positioned your units to attract higher-tier guests?
