Anybody knows a good A/C Technician that can work side jobs in the Fort Myers, Cape Coral or Bonita Springs FL areas?

Hi Guys, Does anybody knows a good experienced Builder in Pasco County FL? Looking to build a single family home on a gulf access lot I have, thanks!

Hello, I am looking for referrals for an experienced and reputable Builder / General Contractor to build a Single Family Home on a Gulf Access lot in Hudson FL. Thank you

Very interesting post. I had no idea about this investor friendly loan. Can anyone recommend a lender knowledgeable in Fannie Mae Homestyle Mortgages in Florida? Hopefully in the Fort Myers, Cape Coral area? Thanks!

Thank you @Wayne Brooks. Yes the house appraised and they were fully approved. I guess I can combine those forms for this deal. Is there any other way where I can combine those 2 forms into one contract? Maybe not using Florida Realtor's forms?

BP Investors,

I am a flipper and have a house in Cape Coral FL under contract until day of closing that didn't close. The deal was subject to the buyer selling their property and the buyer for that property didn't get the loan at the last minute. I am paying very high electric bills and taxes for that property and a 10% on the money I used to buy it and renovations (around $230k). I NEED HELP structuring a deal (maybe rent to own or something similar) with the buyer who still wants the house but needs to wait until he finds another buyer on his property so he can buy mine. I was thinking asking for 10-20% more than market rental rate for the house and a security deposit of around $5,000 refundable once they close on the property. Also give the buyer around 5 or 6 months total to find a buyer and close on it. Any suggestions, contract templates, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I am very excited to be here. I decided to give Bigger Pockets a try after seeing some very good tips and information from fellow members. I am a full time Real Estate Agent who manages a team with my wife (who is a professional Stager). We finally save up some money so we are ready to go all out and start investing.
We have thought about two alternatives:
- Wholesaling ugly properties for a quick profit.
- Buy Single family homes or duplex from the MLS or other sources that are priced below market value for a quick rehab and flip.
We need help with ideas as to where are the best sources to get homes that are priced below market value besides the MLS or auctions. Also if anyone can recommend any good contractor in the SW Florida market area it would be appreciated.
We look forward connecting and networking with a lot of people!
Matias & Adriana.
