The real pool season is 3-4 months, which also sways my opinion. 

But at a $1.5M asking price, as long as you don't have to spend more than $300k in rehab (without raising rents), this is a slam dunk deal that should easily be financed  at 75% LTV by a "investment real estate-friendly" bank/credit union that is located fairly close to the properties.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Hello, everyoneI would like more information on how to successfully complete real estate wholesale deals in Florida.

Would love to chat with you further about your real estate goals!

It’s a low-risk entry into real estate with built-in cash flow potential.

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

@Scott Isbister @Tony CanevaroLike Scott I do recommend the collaborate real estate meetups as well.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
