You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet?

Hi @Joe Tran, I would love to try and attend but I am doing a getaway trip for wine tasting up in Walla Walla with a group of us. 

While we focus on real estate investing as a means to that end, the fact of the matter is that you have to be well rounded and have a smart holistic approach to be successful long-term in this business (or any business, really). 

Contractors bid what they think they can get away with.

Just a round number so others have an order of magnitude estimate.

They had 14 offers in 3 days, most from flippers, they went two rounds, I think I had 5 or 6 phone calls with the agent that day, he certainly did not tell me what the other offers were, but I had enough of a sense to know it is competitive as expected and we built great rapport; got it under contract for 161k cash and no contingencies, which aparently is 50k more than the lowest offer they had (flippers with hard money - agent had been burnt before and disliked hard money to begin with, wanted to see actual funds in my account).

No one who does this professionally can get away with holding it over a year or trying to say you lived there. 

@Tanisha ElieHere is some information for your considerationPolk County/Lakeland is ideally located centrally to Orlando and Tampa, we have many warehouses strategically located throughout Polk County, to include warehouses for Amazon, IKEA, RoomsToGo, PepsiCo and Publix which make this area strategic for distribution throughout Florida, not to mention Publix is headquartered in Lakeland, and we also have a large presence for Coca Cola bottling and Juices in Auburndale, FL which is about 10-20 min from Lakeland.You will also find LegoLand located in Winter Haven, which is and adventurous theme park with rides and a water park, ideal for the kids, we have many families visiting this area year round, this helped cause an uptick in short term rentals (airbnb, VRBO). https://www.legoland.com/florida/Lakeland is also home to the yearly SUN 'n FUN held in April, which is Florida's largest annual convention, which spans over 6 days on 2200 acres, and it has been recorded to have had a $64 Million direct and indirect economic impact on the I-4 corridor (From Tampa to Orlando). https://www.flysnf.org/about/We have team in this area working on most aspects of investing, I would be glad to help, PM me if you want to chat further.

Now we know what june gloom is and almost perfect weather year round.  

However, if you build a tiny home on wheels that could be moved I wonder if you could get away with it.
