I want to focus more on raising capital through wholesaling and then invest in some multifamily housing in the central Florida area.

The National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG) is really easy to work with and doesn't require repairs like that usually.

However, if you are going to take advantage of cost segregation, I would recommend working with a CPA that specializes in real estate such as Michael, Ashish, etc. or I'd be happy to provide additional recommendations rather than doing it yourself through turbo tax.Here's an article with additional FAQs on cost segregation studies that you may find helpful.

I have other STRs in FL and CO but none overseas as it scares me to be so far away.

Hi Ambrea,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.

It worked for me in the past getting started 2016-2018 but I have not seen any deals (at least in FL) I would take the risk in terms of money and time.Best of luck!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I first got started with real estate by buying a 3-flat on a whim 5 years ago and now I am back for more.Happy to meet everyone!
