I'd check local STR FB groups and see if you have a local Real Estate Club.You can offer your services there, maybe for free in exchange for the experience.

If I were going to buy in FL I would get to her class if still offered.

Be sure to explore all around the forums as well as many of the FREE tools that Bigger Pockets provides.I am on the lending side of things and am always happy to hop on a call to discuss loan options that are out there, even if not offered by my resources. 

Maybe @John Bowens can offer some help as well.

@Michaela Hayes What about these projects would make it compelling for a lender to offer 100% financing?

Owner-Builder Construction Loan (Challenging but Possible)Some lenders offer owner-builder loans, but they usually require:✅ Strong financials (good credit, assets, low debt-to-income)✅ A solid construction plan, budget, and timeline✅ Proof of prior experience (renovations help, but formal experience is a plus)✅ A licensed contractor or project manager to sign off on the build2.

Also, don't complain about your offer not being accepted - just submit a better one or walk away - the seller doesn't care about anything other than how long its been on the market and how close to ask you are.

But what do people think of this offering? 

Here in FL a pool trumps all and having a spa feature built in offers additional ROI. 

My CIPS® designation and global network allow me to offer clients insights into international real estate trends as well.
