I bought a condo in Norman Oklahoma 3 years ago and due to the rental market, I have struggled to get another.

I am looking to wholesale my first property in the South Florida market since, I'm starting local.As a new wholesaler, I am looking to connect with investors/buyers/agents in the area to hopefully bring business to and get advice that I may not be aware of. 

Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

But it's playing with fire to buy there if STR is a priority as it's very likely they will eventually start enforcing it better.Yes I've seen this same thing in some of the markets we operate in.

The area has seen growth in both the residential and rental markets, making it a potentially lucrative investment.For financing, you can explore options like conventional loans, FHA loans (for owner-occupied properties), or even local programs that might offer lower down payments for investment properties.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

You can arguably make it work in any market.

I highly recommend investing in a property management software, such as Hospitable, for syncing your calendar, automating messaging, and scheduling cleans, as well as a dynamic pricing tool, such as PriceLabs, for optimizing your pricing based on market demand, local events, and seasonality. 

@Rajesh Kasturi My favorite MTR market for cash flow AND appreciation is Portland, OR. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.
