So I suggested a meet and greet for tomorrow with all the locals in Palm Coast with no interest.  If you are serious about networking we need to get together over coffee or drinks to talk to each other.  I will start a thread only for a PC meet up and let's put our heads together.. 

@Todd Fuller Thats a very wide search area,  people do not realize how big Florida is,  Tampa to Jacksonville is anywhere between 6 and 4 hours apart depending on where you start and finish.  I live in Palm Coast which is about 30 min south of St Augustine and 30 North of Daytona Beach Right off  I-95 for easy interstate access.  I work that region as a Realtor, let me know if you need any input.

Few days late to this tread,  Realtor/Brokerage Co-owner here in Palm Coast, with one investment in Baltimore Md. Would love to meet up with all you guys and Gals in the Palm Coast area.  Let's set up a meet and greet in the next week or two. Put our heads and strength together and make some $$$$$.  Next Thursday evening?  

@Ben Pileggi

Ben I too am looking into investing more in Palm Coast.  As a Realtor on the ground here I know first hand how hard it is to find a deal.  I would like to talk with about another possible option if you're interested.  DM me and we can meet up for lunch or drink and discuss.

@Artem Trusov

Sent you a private message, let chat.

With the slowing down of real estate a few fellow agents and myself are thinking about breaking off from our large corporate brokerage and starting our own Real Estate and property management brokerage. One question we really don't know the answer too is has any property managers here in Florida been able to leave the company they work for and take their current clients with them to the new company?  

If anyone here has been successful in doing this, were you solicited or were you shopping around for a different company?   

Lastly, what made you  want to switch?

Brenda Arnold I feel your $1,800 month rental rate might be a little low. I have been watching the Rental inventory in the MLS very closely the last few weeks for my own investment goals. Please feel free to DM/PM me the address and I can give it a closer look. With the amount of snow birds with deep pocket from the NE you might be able to score a little maybe a lot more. My personal house is valued at 320K is a 4/3 with a pool and I believe I could easily get $2000.00 and I have a buddy who has a 4/3 with a bonus room and pool that is getting $2000.00 and his home is values at $290K.

Just based on your Comp value and not knowing which neighborhood you're in and if you have water frontage you might be better off then you think.

It been a while and a ton of question that were asked an answered. We are working on a floor plan and plan to do two different elevation of the same design. Build two homes side by side and market them for sale. Depending on feed back and interest we might keep one as a model home. My GC has worked out a deal with me to be paid only a very small amount to him after well sell the first two home. Then we will reevaluate the fee schedule after that. That's all for now.

Hello Friends,

My wife and I are pretty new to the business ( about 4 years) and we are part of a larger team that has done fairly well. In the recent months its seems like all our lead generation has dried up. We do all the normal stuff like letters to FSBO, Exp, Probate, Divorce, absentee owners, and we do social events, volunteer and direct marketing to clubs and groups. In the past 3 months we have got nothing in return. We are tossing around a few idea about paying for leads and the million dollar question is which company have any of you fallen in love with. I'm looking for a business that does better than .5% closure. So let me know what you all think any new pointers are welcome too.

The rental market is a roller coaster here in Palm Coast. Some rent in hours other stay on marker for weeks. There is a home just around the bend from my house that rented the first time in less than a weeks. The tenants we good and the house is in great shape. They had to break the lease and move, now it has been on the market over a month. The owners are fair and on par in the price and have many other properties. My opinion is that there is an increase in rental that are available because the tenants have repaired there credit from the crash and have the income to buy a house. Yes the builders are killing it now and with a hand full of discount builder people can own again for less then rent. I have been looking for a rental property for about a year and haven't been able to pick one up because the ROI is just too low and the cash flow is poor. The investors with very deep pockets are over paying for the REO's just to have the volume. They don't care if it sit vacant, the property will hold better than the unknown on the stock market or any other type on investment with this crazy political climate.
