@Matt "Roar" Gardner Thank you. Appreciate the info. How long have you been using it? Do you feel like it has enhanced the productivity of your assistants to a magnitude that's worth the cost?

The developers/promoters are touting it as a highly automated deal finding solution that's good for those who have a full-time W-2... Based on your experience, would you agree with that claim?

@Matt "Roar" Gardner, do you want to share your experience with the Autoblaster? Thanks heaps


 I canceled my membership after about 6 months. We just weren't getting the results we had hoped for.  That could totally be based on execution failure, but for us, it just wasn't a good fit.

Quote from @Kyle A. Isaacs:

My thinking is that these were great purchases pre-2020.  I've been looking for the past year and it's difficult to digest someone selling a 3/3 for $650k when they purchased it in 2020 for $250k.  

But, I saw the same thing happen in the Destin market.  We purchased a house while stationed there in 2014 for $180k and the prices have now increased to >$550k.  "Investors" will still swoop in and purchase these units and I'm scratching my head on how they're making the numbers work with the significant increase to the cost of capital.  

I personally have been following properties that stand out and wait.  Most people are delisting the property and re-listing it a few days later.  When that happens I'll submit a low-ball offer to gauge how desperate the seller is.


 As always, you offer great insight! I'd also recommend leveraging creative financing to make these pricier deals still workout.  We've had some great luck in that realm recently!

Hey Yall! I am brand new to the BiggerPockets community. I am located in Pensacola, FL. I am looking to create new revenue streams and am a complete novice. But with my limited knowledge so far, I am hoping to invest in multi family complexes in the NW Florida, Lower Alabama, Louisiana area. Hoping to connect with like minded people!


 You've come to the right place, my man! As an agent and investor in the Florida panhandle as well as lower Alabama and Mississippi, there are some great opportunities out here! 

What niche are you looking to jump into?

@Lake Lutes nailed it - I'd love to find a 10/10 location, but they simply don't exist.  lol 

I do still love the Florida market for STR, specifically the Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Panama City Beach. The biggest problems right now are the price-to-income ratios, the massive insurance rate hikes, and ultimately interest rates are crushing cash flow.

As an agent and investor in along the Gulf Coast, 90% of our deals right now are happening due to creative financing (i.e. seller financing, sub-to deals, and loan assumptions) -- Beyond massive price reductions, I'm not seeing anything pencil out right now.
