Some of this can be mitigated by connecting to the folks who can point you in the right direction when you get deeper in the weeds on your research after you've chosen a market.Feel free to DM or email me if you would like a little more info on Miramar Beach.

I certainly like my position.Development is BIG time gamble but when it works boy does it work.. 

These listings are often designated as potential HomePath possibilities on the MLS listings, and you can also use the HomePath website to confirm whether or not a property is eligible.HomePath financing is only available through lenders that have specifically been chosen by Fannie Mae.There are two key features to the HomePath program: (1) it does not require an appraisal and (2) it does not require PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).

Time is your enemy and even if you take a loss here, it could be better than gambling on waiting it out.

However asking people about the market is just as much of a gamble as going down to the strip and asking which slot machine is doing the best or which table can I win on.

They just want you to send them a scope of work with materials already chosen and - boom - they just get started on the job.

Investing without education is just gambling.

Your are better off taken the conservative route than taken a gamble about the future. 

You are trying to show a $60k increase in 8 months - show why your purchase was at a discount and where the market is.This is a duplex - so the appraisal will probably be about $600 - worth the gamble. but don't get carried away making improvements that may increase marketability but not value.
