Gaining a little equity by moving faster doesn’t matter if it adds unnecessary risk, tighter timelines, or thinner margins.

Margins are thinner than people expect.Nashville ARVs look attractive on paper, but rehab and holding costs climb fast.

Profit margins were thinner than I expected, especially with returns.

You're exactly right, the line between “landlord” and “operator” is getting thinner every year.

Definitely a different game now.Still, for newer investors who don’t have time to swing hammers or live near their properties, I guess a thinner return might be worth the trade for peace of mind.Curious — if someone were starting today, would you still say turnkey is worth considering just to get experience, or would you tell them to wait and hunt for a light value-add instead?

Margins are thinner now than they were a few years ago, especially with insurance and cleaning costs up, but a strong product still wins.On the Florida coast, you get more variety — think smaller beach towns like New Smyrna, Cape Coral, or Anna Maria Island — less saturation but also more local regulation.

I’d still call Building and Housing to double-check, but most likely they’ll want a full concrete or asphalt surface.If you’re trying to keep costs down, maybe ask if they’ll allow asphalt millings or a thinner pour.

Know your market and when the "blood is running in the streets" be ready to buy!

In fact, we have an emergency option on our call-tree and over 90% of the time it is used, it is NOT an emergency.FYI - in the PMC industry emergencies are referred to as, "blood or flood" issues.
