House worth 400k needs 100k of work and agent is listing it for 435k telling you it’s a handyman project  With my experience the last year a lot of houses go under contract and then reappear so just stick true to your numbers and don’t get wrapped up into a bidding warI hope my little rant helps but good luck to you and maybe will be out there bidding on some houses lmao good luck brother!

Go to propwire or propstream and look up cash buyers who own at least 500 or more in FL within the last 3-6 mths.

Factors include: location, amenities, rental potential versus price, per stay and annual fees associated with renting in the HOA, and lastly a subjective measure of overall expected guest experience.Disclaimer: Rankings and subjective comparisons between HOAs are not meant to discredit or heighten one HOA being better than another.

@Tiffany Roberts  how long have you hated them?   

Just a solid single family home, well built, in an area that is perfect for long term appreciation due to proximity to DC.
