Hey everyone,I just got details on a Pre-Approved Short Sale in Ellenwood (30294) and wanted to break it down because we don't see these often.Usually, short sales are a 6-month waiting game, but this one has the lender's 'Green Light' already, which technically makes it transact like a standard sale.The Asset:Location: Weelaunee Rd, Ellenwood, GA.Specs: 4 Bed / 2 Bath on 1.84 Acres (Huge lot for this area).Price: Listed at $235k.Condition: Renovated kitchen/floors (not a gut job).The Opportunity:Ellenwood is seeing a lot of activity as buyers get pushed out of Decatur/Atlanta.

An example of the first is high rise condos I purchased in Phoenix in 2011 -2012 - because the owner occupancy was below Fannie Freddie FHA guidelines, these could only be “cash only” deals.  

Hello Everyone,I’m curious how other house flippers on BP are adjusting their numbers going into 2026, especially with tighter financing boxes and higher rehab costs in a lot of markets.A few shifts I’m seeing and hearing from investors:Being more conservative on ARV, especially in markets that ran hot in 2020–2022Building in more cushion on rehab bids and timelinesFavoring projects with multiple exit options (flip, rental, wholetail) rather than “must‑flip” dealsFor active flippers:Have you tightened your max allowable offer (MAO) formula or required profit spread?

From what I'm seeing in today's market, the investors who are winning the best deals are the ones who have speed and certainty of execution on their side.I'd love to connect with active flippers, developers, and wholesalers (whether you are local to SWFL or anywhere else in the state).Quick question for the active investors here: What is the biggest bottleneck you are seeing in your business right now?

I see that most mortgage companies don’t do heloc’s on investment properties and if they do they require a higher credit score and can only pull 70-75% of the equity.

Understand you get what you pay for but wanted to see who everyone used and hoping I can afford one.

We are also coming into spring now so you should see more traffic.  

Wondering what folks are seeing out there.

Example: Instead of saying it’s “great for students” or “perfect for travel nurses,” focus on the features that make it appealing and let people decide for themselves, like:Walkability to the hospital3 bed / 3 bath layout (huge plus)Lease length flexibilityFurnished vs. unfurnishedParking, utilities, internet, etc.That approach still attracts students, parents, and traveling professionals without creating any Fair Housing headaches.

Yes I am looking at the sign up from tenant for water/sewer signup, the only issue is to make sure they are paying there bill and I don't forget to see, if they paid :).
