I was born and raised there, so I am very familiar with flood and wind damage from hurricanes.

When it comes to raising capital, appear this way, speak that way.

Now is not the time to “test the market” with an ambitious price to “see what happens.”

I would say test it by telling people in the listing what is the size and the value of the house like a 700sqft 1 million dollar beach house. 

R&D is like split testing, trial and error is "I'll be damned to spend the time investing in knowledge so let's just hope we survive the guessing". 

To do so, I need an initial team who can cover the following aspects of these projects:- Wholesaler- Contractor (Inspection oriented)- Equity Partners (Project Incentives)Once the deals are in place, the financing support will be through personal capital for upfront costs, with the intention to raise private capital and include hard-money lenders as-needed.

*the site currently needs to pass certain soil tests to make sure it is clear to develop, so this is a higher risk area for investment since it is not certain if the tests will come back positive till around the beginning of 2025.

And then had a deposit down for a house in Ocala that they never delivered and raised the price on twice.

Raise rents, reduce expenses (shop insurance, appeal taxes, refinance, etc). 3.

Keep your prices just a hair lower than your competitors for the first month or two until you get some good reviews, then raise them to market rate.
