I’ve noticed that there hasn’t been much recent discussion or activity specific to the Gainesville, FL market, so I wanted to start a conversation!

Hi im new, I recently turned 18, and I im asking for someone who is experience enough or wants to be of help for me to start wholesaleing. 

Quote from @Elisabeth Lernhardt: Today I found out, that some of the utilities were not in the tenants name!

If your clients/or yourself put the time into learning and figuring out a niche in the RE world that excites you, start looking for deals that make sense and always run the numbers.

I went from a W2 job to building a portfolio of 500+ units over the last 5 years by starting small and scaling smart.

They may be a great resource for you to start building connections. 

thanks for the guidance @Kaushik Sarkar Since it's development it will take longer to get to the exit. 3 years could be right depending on the market, if the project requires entitlements, how long it takes for permits, no major utility obstacles, etc.

They’re requesting what feels like an unreasonable amount of information, and the demands keep escalating.So far, they’ve asked for:A video tour of my home officeCredit checks on me and my partnerCopies of the deeds for every property we ownA copy of my partner’s home lease and utility billsBusiness phone billsA signed letter from the bank verifying our accountsBank statementsHonestly, it feels more like qualifying for a loan than trying to become a customer.

Due to increased rates i did not refi so i did not get opportunity to see how an appraiser valued the half bathroom but the comps with same bathroom count had crazy valuation for the additional half bathroom.Taking under utilized space like a work area to add a br where the added br does not put you above the normal for the area can add value.Similar if a neighborhood is virtually all 3 br and 4 br properties and you find a 2 BR, it could be a value add to add the bedroom via new construction.  

I underestimated utilities in my early years, so I ensure those are properly captured (electricity, gas, water and trash).
