Bottom line - there have been a number of challenges in Cape Coral over the last couple of years. 

Hope is a bad strategy.The only on market strategy that I think can work is paying cash/line of credit/hard money for a property that does not qualify for conventional financing.

Most margin loans and SBLOC are Prime + or FFR +, and the ones Im familiar with are 8-13% right now.The only other thing I can think of is that if you're a HNW with a good relationship with your private banking team, maybe theyll give your a personal line based on your net worth and assets with them.  

You could also get a line of credit for about $150k (you should be able to borrow 75% of the value.)The reason I suggest this is…1) you save $40-$60k in selling costs. 2) you have a lower blended interest rate (2/3rds at 3.25% and 1/3rd at 7 or 8% instead of the whole $500k at 7 or 8%) saving you another $1k/mo in interest. 3) you only pay interest on that $150k when you actually use it, not from day 1  Unless you hate this property, or want to buy something you can’t afford without selling, that would be my plan.

Are you pretty close to the blue line?

After watching the trends and digging into the numbers, one thing is crystal clear: New-home sales 2025are shaping up to be the silver lining in what’s otherwise been a challenging market.
