@Olivier LePage Welcome to the community, of BiggerPockets! The people here have a vast amount of knowledge and are more than willing to share their experience and provide sound insight and advice. Be sure to check out the forums, the blogs, podcasts as well as other parts of this amazing website and like minded community. I am located, in Miami. I am a Rehabber as well as a Buy and Hold Investor.

To answer your questions, the first thing I would suggest is to find and Investor Friendly Realtor, in Miami, to help you locate the hot Pocket Markets. An acquisition price plus rehab costs totaling $250,000 may be a tough ask, in a good neighborhood, for a fast turn around. If you want to utilize the 70% Rule, your best bet is to locate Off Market Properties using a Wholesaler. MLS Properties are receiving top dollar, if they are relatively new, to the market because banks are willing to sit on them, to create Bidding Wars. I hope this information helps you. Please free to reach out, to me, if you feel I may be of assistance, to your Real Estate Endeavors. Much to your success!

 Johanna you're welcome!  A suggestion as a starting point is to look for houses that are for rent that you'd TRULY love to own, not just any old house.  Then talk to the landlord or owner about the possibility of a lease-option, or have your Realtor talk to them for you!

  Yes! Monique thank you so much for your advice 😁 Have a great day ! 

I have a mentor that lives out there! He has been in real estate for at least 20 Yrs...my email is in my profile email or call me and I can give you his information!
