miami you can build at the same cost per unit and sell at the same cost per unit in south miami dade in homestead, florida city right now. there are 10 different zoning and entitlement loopholes and lots are available from 75k-130k. miami does not have that old of housing stock it has more new deliveries than probably 95% of the state of florida. what are you talking about?

New to the forum and short term rentals.

The land is on two tax lots so my plan is to sell the extra lot immediately after closing for a projected $275K.The property on the other lot will be a fix and flip with projected costs of $240K and an ARV of $750K.I plan to use a PML of 2 points and 12% APY for 70% of the total cost.
