Doing some Tire Kicking...

[David Niles]

Hello to all you toasty warm Floridians from a chilly western NY'er.  I am a life long general contractor doing flips and investor work for the past 10 years fulltime, also licensed NYS Realtor. The wife and I have been traveling down once a winter for a getaway as we have family in Citrus Springs, Cape Coral and Punta Gorda. 

Were thinking about trading in our snow shoes and possibly making the jump ( she is a fulltime licensed Realtor ).  At this point were leaning towards the Punta Gorda area.  What I'm looking to do is hear from and maybe hookup with some of you locals and get an idea of how the general contractor for investors workload is.  

Plus I'd love for any of you wholesalers to send me what you have so I can start to get some ideas of how the market is.  

Basically any of you involved with fulltime real estate in these areas, feel free to chime in. We are also in the process of planning to come down for a month soon so I'd love to meet up in person with some of you and attend any local REIA / BP meetups.

Thanks

Dave
