The deal definitely works purely from a numbers perspective, but having never subdivided land I feel my formula could be missing certain metrics associated with the subdivision process.

I'd like to shift to Fredericksburg - will I find these auction opportunities in a local paper, on a website, or somewhere else entirely?

DPA has been very tough to use the past few years....just way too much competition that isn't using it in the sub $300K range.With that said the market has shifted some the past 2-3-4 months and maybe a seller would accept it if they don't have other offers.I would just be prepared to make several offers and not get your heart set on one particular house.

I also put in an offer of on an almost new construction (2021) single family home yesterday being sold by a divorcing couple, but they want full asking price and the wife is being weird trying to stay in the home after the sale which does not help me as the family needs immediate housing.I would really appreciate perspective from this group with experience in the Fort Myers / Cape Coral area. 

I'd like to hear your perspective on that too.
