@Liz Brumerchalk this one up to some pretty lucky circumstances IE getting the Deed I Lui  good job doing that.. if you had not, foreclosures in FLA take forever and can easily be contested and would have added quite a bit of cost to your all in price.For these deals you need this kind of spread to make them worth while in my opinion you could buy 2 or 3 regular fix and flips and not go through that drama and make the same money in the same time frame.. but hopefully this gives you the experience were you can start to move up were you can make some big dollars.although big return APR wise still small dollars for all the time invested and risk is how I would personally look at this...
