I'm essentially born and raised in the Orlando area and lived in every corner of Central Florida. Like any other market there are parts of Orlando that will sell for $60 sq/ft and parts that are $300 +. Hard part may be a lot of homes near median of $260k don't even come close to 1% or 2% rules. However, I'd completely disagree that you can't do it. You buy the right deal with the right equity and have the relationships with financial institutions to be able to do a BRRRR it can be done. Comps lately have been a little wishy-washy because they're trying to factor in uncertainty. Not much of a concrete answer for ya but in my opinion you buy the right property for the right price in the right sub-market in Orlando, it's possible. Good places to look to be on the outskirt areas that are seeing a lot of growth due to Orlando expanding and people commuting in. Debary, Deltona, Winter Garden would be areas that come to mind. I know the market extremely well here I'd be more than happy to have a conversation. There's my two cents as a native. Happy deal hunting.

@JaVonn Turner was doing some research and came upon this thread. Well Said, JaVonn. Most people didn't even answer her questions, but just bashed the entire act. Obviously had some bad experiences so I can't blame them for feeling as such. 

If you are upfront and honest to the sellers,

If you know what you can and should legally do and say, 

Then I can tell you with 100% certainty that wholesaling is legal in the state of Florida. Again, assuming you know what you are allowed to do and say, and that you have full transparency in the transaction, then what is the problem!!

I've always like BP because everyone is generally very cool and helpful. The majority of this thread wasn't. 

@Olivia Darling I hope you got yourself educated, did things the right way with integrity, and made yourself a living while helping out some sellers and buyers or investors in the meantime.

Loaded question there, bro. Simple answer; find yourself a buyer. You’ll naturally figure it out from there. Or take a couple hours and watch some YouTube for some crash course from people that have done it, and then again, find yourself a buyer. 

Here’s a couple off the top of my head to start:

Hey BP, 

Has read multiple posts and still can't get a hard answer here. Hoping to be specific enough to get a solid answer here. 

Long story short, I am a non-incorporated individual investor looking to send RVM (ringless voicemail) and Cold Texts to lists I've purchased and scrubbed against the DNC list. Is this legal to do in the state of Florida? Here are the specifics regarding laws I've looked into below.

Florida Senate Bill 568 specifically states ringless voicemail and cold texting requires written consent. HOWEVER, it also states that the bill is an extension of the Do Not Call List. 

Does this mean that the only people you can not send a RVM or Cold Text to are just the ones on the DNC List already?

I've also seen information limiting certain marketing from a business or corporation. HOWEVER, I am not incorporated and technically not a business entity, just a dude looking to possibly buy a home. So would these rules even apply?

Lastly, would any rules relating to "solicitation" and "telemarketing sales" calls apply at all given that I am not trying to sell anything, I'm in fact just inquiring about possibly purchasing their property?

Thanks in advance

Hey all, 

Doing my first direct mail campaign for a first BRRRR project. Have done a ton of research and drilled down to a list of criteria for my area and target property types but am running into something I haven't come across in my research anywhere yet.

I'm targeting properties that I can get to a purchase price not exceeding $150k. But is there something in list criteria that could get it to show properties in a range as best as possible? I.E., assessed value is usually roughly 50-80% of last appraised value. So maybe if I include assessed value at MAX $175k, this would at least most likely take out all homes that are ones I wouldn't be purchasing in the $500k range. 

By NO means exact science here, just trying to see if there is a criteria that could get my list much more targeted even more than I already have. 

Thanks in advance for any input. 

@Jeffrey M Rauen looking good. I'm from the area and have been looking at something SFH where the numbers work for a possible BRRRR but having trouble finding something priced I can make it happen. Way to leverage your VA!

Any luck in finding good wholesalers in the area?

Hey all! Newbie here as well. Central Florida home-grown. Real estate has always been a passion (read everything on planet earth, listened to every podcast, always keeping an eye on the market, etc) but finally at a time in my life where action is the next step. 

Checked out the link to the Central Florida meetup but has already past. Is there somewhere on here that I missed where I can keep abreast of future meetups? Would love to sit in a room with likeminded people and grow my network. Thanks in advance for any info.
