I am also in FL but the pan handle.

However if the rehab budget is double your guess then his best case is more or less not having to bring money to sell it.Still worth getting the experience of going out there and doing a repair estimate and talking with the seller, but I'd not hold out a lot of hope this will pan out.

However, it's still unclear how everything will pan out in the a few years, and how the effects of the current increase in activity will play out in neighborhoods like Little Haiti. 

Twenty miles from SF, and right on the Pacific, Bolinas has a a lack of water to support more people.

If those numbers don't pan out and you think you can wholesale, go for it.
