The lot is on a hill, so not all of it is fully usable.While it’s R4 zoning, I understand the 32’ frontage likely limits multifamily development (e.g., tough to build two-family without a variance), so this may appeal more to buy-and-hold investors, rehabbers, or end-users rather than developers.The property is vacant and in significant disrepair.

Look for a tax advisor knowledgeable in real estate and an asset protection attorney who understands your long-term goals.

Quote from @Gia Hermosillo: Quote from @Drew Sygit: Advice for beginners:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location/neighborhoods to invest in.Why is Property Class so important for investors to understand and apply in their investing strategies?

Take time to understand local rules, stay on top of your paperwork, and focus on clear, consistent communication.

With a construction management background, you’re already ahead of the curve, real estate rewards people who understand how properties are built and maintained.The best way to get started is by connecting with local investors, shadowing a few deals, and learning how they analyze properties and manage risks.

That’s why it’s so important to understand your local foreclosure laws and auction systems before jumping in.That said, if you’re in Florida, or even just looking to understand the general strategies and risks involved, I’d be happy to share insights or point you in the right direction.

“… I can understand charging a fee upfront as a small commitment to not shop the deal.”I can’t.

I always encourage investors to look beyond rates and ask: Does this agent and lender understand my strategy?

If there’s any advice you could give on how to navigate the wants and needs of this situation I am deeply invested in listening, understanding, learning, and acting.
