I had a property on Fort Myers Beach that I sold after the hurricane. In order to get power ran back to our house, we had to get a structural report/sign off from an engineer. So depending what you're looking at, most things that have power restored should of already passed a structural inspection.

Pay attention to mold and electrical as well. Most of the houses that were sitting on grade were completely or almost completely under water. (my house was underwater completely except for the crest of the roof) ALso, the city wasn't letting anyone back on the island (even owners) for like 14ish days (I forget the exact number), so ALL of the non-raised houses were full of mold by time anyone was allowed to go in and start doing things.

Hopefully you're aware of these types of issues, or as Nick Bednarczyk stated above you get a good inspector who will be on the look out for them.

Solid advice: and great insight. I can see why it may be risky then. Sounds like extra money upfront to determine if it’s a good deal in a market that’s already slim on deals as is. Are you still buying?

@Antoine Griffin Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel got pounded with the storm. Some of those building had extreme structural damage that would need to be identified by an engineer or architect.

Fair enough! I did hear about the structural issues a few times but didn’t realize it was that much. Did see how bad the hurricane was though. Terrible.

I appreciate your response. Helps me really understand. What makes the fort Myers deals risky? Shaky structures?

Good afternoon/evening,

I am new to bigger pockets, but I was posting to find a mentor in the flip game. Potentially even the wholesaling game as well.

I currently work a full-time job 8 to 5 and spend all my time after work and on weekends and searching for deals.

If someone has the capital and potentially has experience in this game, I am more than willing to be the sweat equity hunting for the deal, and even boots on the ground.

I am also open to short term rentals, BRRR, and even multifamily investing.

I’m as serious as you’ll find.

Thanks all
