Florida Market Question

[Dana A.]

Hey Everyone! I am looking into the Florida Market (From Palm Beach to Miami) however I am open to hearing more about other areas you all could recommend. I currently work with investors and developers here in NoCal & SoCal and would like to mirror my business model in Florida. Possibly even start flipping homes myself. Although I love the commissions received here in California as a realtor, I see more opportunity for a more prosperous, healthy and happy life in Florida. It also helps that I have family their too! :)

With my partners here, I could continue to work both states so my transition shouldn't be super hard. After almost 27 years in CA, I think I am done...

Hi Dona. That is so exciting you are thinking about coming over this way to FL!! I came to the space coast (central on the east coast, Bravard county / Melbourne area) 8 years ago, fell in love, and never went back. As I'm sure you know the FL market as a whole has appreciated greatly, but there are still pockets of very affordable homes. I would recommend you check out the Melbourne area. It is still low-key, but up and coming with lots of exciting developments. Beautiful lagoon, parks, and beaches, and still SO affordable. In general, as you travel from Miami north it will get less expensive and less crowded. We are about 3 hours north of Miami. I am a Realtor, and investor in this area and I can help put you in touch with any and all contractors, roofers, plumbers, electricians, etc. you might need for a flip. I would also highly encourage you to consider a new build vs a flip. most of my investors are only hitting their margins with new builds and not flips, and I have a guy who can do them really cheap. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help or if you have any more questions :)
