Brevard County further south may be a better choice but not without local knowledge. 

That could be anything from not accounting for capex/repairs/vacancy in their calculations or a complete lack of knowledge in how to calculate their future property tax obligation (this is a big deal in Michigan).Just the other day I had a call with an investor looking at a 10-unit property in Detroit.

But if a buyer is simply trying to squeeze you, trust your knowledge and move forward with confidence.This deal turned out to be a home run for us.

we dont mind working with knowledgeable agents but man the ones that are new or never sold new construction are just horrid to work with most of the time.. they simply dont know what they dont know and just create a lot of unnecessary drama in the transaction.

So far it’s been a great experience and I’ve learned a ton and now have a little more courage and knowledge.

Hello all,First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has given so much knowledge the last few years as I dipped my toes into real estate. 

Please, guys before you say something, put some thought into it because you come across as "knowledgeable," and people will fall for it while you're steering them the wrong way.Please stop telling people it's about patience and persistence.

@Niaz ButtI’m either calculating it based on a similar project or using a cost psf that I know is very conservativeFor developers who’ve done many many projects they have the advantage of having so much more knowledge than I do

As an individual or first-time investor- House Hack, lower interest rate/downpayment programs, local market knowledge, Rent a room, STR your house, Military BAH payments, etc.B. 

I would love to connect with realtors & discuss local market knowledge, recommendations & overall support.
