June 2024 Lee County Florida Foreclosure Report

The June 2024 Lee County Foreclosure Report was complied by Jeff Tumbarello, Director SWFL REIA , Broker/Owner Steelbridge Realty LLC Principal , Venture Investment Partners

  • This is my work, done for me and shared with you
  • The data in the report came from multiple sources.
    • Those sources are:
      The Lee County Clerk of Court, and MLS data (from my membership as the Broker of Steelbridge Realty LLC)

We haven’t published this report in a while as the market trajectory previously rendered this dataset less crucial for forward-looking decisions. However, the current shifts in the market conditions have made this report relevant again. We update this data monthly.

You are trying to invest in real estate, while they are merely traders looking to sell. Many wholesalers don't own any assets themselves, so how can you expect them to truly understand the market? I commend their effort for getting up and taking action, but many don't do the necessary homework and instead rely on YouTube gurus.

Occasionally, you can find great deals from a wholesaler, but be prepared to spend a lot of time sifting through subpar offers to uncover the gems.

Speaker: Al Nicoletti, ESQ.

Quote from @Carleen Murone:

I agree with Jeff on the vacancy rates. I was just speaking with a property management company and he isn't having any trouble renting his units. One thing about Cape Coral is most SFH are not in gated communities so HOA's are not an issue. There are also several build-to-rent projects going on with builder financing deals snd some even offering perks like property management (even free for a period) so maintenance costs can be kept lower in the beginning years. North Port is a bit further from the projected growth boom that we will see in Cape Coral, and also Punta Gorda (airport and resort are brining in jobs and industry). Both Cape Coral and Punt Gorda, and possibly parts of Port Charlotte, will have growth of young families due to these jobs. Feel free to contact me to discuss further.


 If you price it at the market, it rents. Many of these BTR groups are pitching higher rents to get the deals to cash flow on paper.

Quote from @Yulia Volokhina:

Thank you for the insight. 

The website Businessobserverfl mentions that rental vacancy rates in Cape Coral is 15.3%. Does it sound right for the LTRs there?


 It is not that high. I have pretty detailed datasets, I rarely can replicate the medias "data"

Quote from @Chris Rogers:

Good Sunday afternoon everyone! I am a rookie investor looking to network and learn here. I do not have any investment properties currently, only my primary residence. I live in SWFL and work in the commercial insurance field as an agent/advisor. For SWFL locals, I would like to discuss your tactics in this current market, where prices are still way up and rates are as well. I cannot seem to find any deals in the region that make any sense- or are even close to making sense. I have discovered a market 5 hours north of me in Valdosta, GA where the numbers seem to make a lot more sense. I would love to network and learn from any investors in either market. 

I look forward to meeting fellow BP members, this seems like a fantastic resource.

Quote from @Brandon O.:

We have a partially complete 4 bedroom new home build in Cape Coral and are considering changing contractors. Doors and windows are in and we are in rough mechanicals. Does anyone have any recommendations for quality contractors? Thanks in advance!


 There are a few builders having issues. Some will make it, some will not. For some of the builders, this is not the first time they have done this, lol.

Make sure you do plenty of Due Dilly on the next, so you are not jumping from the "frying pan to the fire" so to speak.

How far along is the build?
