It is important to look for locations with strong economic growth, rising demand for housing, employment, vacation and infrastructure developments, as well as properties that offer the potential for value appreciation or steady cash flow.

But do note that there are many of these "resort-developments" in the area.

Development no.

So far there is some indication of a little uptick for 2025 booking - I've already booked out a few weeks beyond the winter, which is when I go down and take care of maintenance and repairs - and in the summer, but traffic and inquiries are way, way down.If you feel like seeing a blood bath, just pull up the MLS and look at the Margaritaville development.

I think that a new partner a very large real estate development co. that the company now has a relationship wanted it there where his company is also .We have very different definitions of a Hard Money Loan. 

And I am constantly looking for new areas for growth.I started flipping land (owned almost 80 lots out there at one time) about four years ago then got into acting as developer where we I had builders build a couple of cabins and flipped them to end buyers. 

Relationships often lead to off-market deals and valuable partnerships.Consider targeting up-and-coming neighborhoods or distressed properties in areas seeing new development or infrastructure improvements.If you’re exploring commercial, maybe start with small multifamily units (like duplexes or fourplexes) before diving into larger complexes.I’d love to connect and possibly collaborate.

Now we're seeing incredible population and job growth and major companies moving and developing here like Intel and Amazon - great macroeconomics and strong rental demand.

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value?

@Nicholas L.What Nicholas said.I would also develop a list of buyers and what their buy boxes are.
