@Jacob W. land market in FL is highly competitive.

We are a massive appreciation market. 

Quote from @Andrew Rodriguez: I will be speaking to a local one tomorrow morning and then go from there.  

Build your network by joining local real estate investor meetups or online communities like BiggerPockets.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

You could get a loan from a local bank or private lender to fund it

From what I’ve gathered, it’s crucial to connect with local agents and attorneys since they often learn about foreclosures before they even hit public records.It also helps to keep an eye out while driving—homes that appear neglected or have been vacant for a long time often signal a pending foreclosure.If you're considering this strategy, be ready to move quickly.

In the same amount of work I could find an undervalued deal in my market through existing channels.

Day care, restaurants, local businesses will all be affected.

Should I work with a local Architect to design from scratch?
