Will $50k be enough to buy and renovate the home in your market? 

I'm looking for larger properties so those are not as likely to respond to direct mail.

The legalese around getting a tenant out for renovations to up the rents are grey area. 

Bonus is if you can move to larger parcels that may have timber value.trying to find lots for builders is pretty much a non starter builders find their own lots.. and are not going to over pay.this is why the guys that do this primariliy are working the deserts of the south west.. high deserts of CA rural Texas NM  AZ  so on and so forth..

Major renovations are planned: new roof, new HVAC, tearing down walls to increase HLA, licensed contractors on the premises, and some earthwork around the house to prevent rainwater drainage going through the house foundation.Thank you in advance!

So I want to look at a property with way more upside and renovation needs then. 

or figure something out creatively2nd house Arv 160,000 built-in 2004 no updates purchased for 114,000. they're wanting full price 162,000. rent 1000, I'm thinking to offer 85,290.25 because that leaves room for a nice profit for my buyer and renovations and their closing costs.This seller is also asking 55000 for another home he owns but the arv is 30,000 because of the area which he purchased around the same time.

Does anyone in here focus on flipping larger/luxury homes in Pinellas?

I hope to finish my renovation before they complete their construction, but We’ll see.If I don’t complete it before they do, then I might have time then to go to the companies and see what their needs are.

I would keep doing what you have been doing, since you have proven that it works until you can do something on a larger scale.
