For this price band, most of our builds land in the $135–$155 per sq ft range depending on finishes.

@Mary Jay, To defer all of the tax, you must purchase at least as much as your net sale (sales price minus closing costs and commissions) and use all of the proceeds (Any equity received) in your 1031 exchange, as @Bill B. and others had mentioned.

Goal: spark qualified showings without looking like we’re chasing and keep room for normal credits/concessions if needed.Questions for local buyers/investors:1) In Nov–Dec, which list would you choose for this profile: high-$710s or low-$710s (same $700–$725k portal band)?

I have also applied for the Greenline grant (a first-time homebuyer assistance program) and am hoping it covers some of the costs, but I won't know if I'll receive the grant or the amount until March, so I'm currently budgeting without it.

Start by writing your buy box (property type, price band, rent range, condition), practice the BRRRR math on 10 real listings, then talk to three investor‑friendly lenders and two private lenders to learn terms and build credibility; your edge is speed, clarity, and follow‑through.

I requested a partial redemption on March 23.

Yes, rents fell in November, but, according to housing economist Jay Parsons: 1) “…it was the smallest Nov cut in 4 years.2) From March to October, monthly rent change numbers came in as at/near the weakest since 2009.

Seasonal rent( Jan-March) goes for $4000/month On the other hand I saw another condo in estero, that is gated with a man, has a pool, a small storage, a gym, basketball courts, with HOA fees of $600/month with $900 CDD yearly that allows 12 leases with minimum of 30 days, condo reserve of 500k, built in 2003.

I'm planning to start looking in March of 2026.

For rentals or flips, they’re usually a band-aid that starts peeling, chipping, or yellowing within a year, especially around grout lines.
