DEAL CRITERIA

What We're Looking For

No guesswork. Here's exactly what makes a deal worth a conversation — and what doesn't.

Property Type Single-Family
Market Central Florida
Strategy Buy & Hold
Decision Speed 24–48 hrs
Funding Self-Funded

We keep our criteria straightforward. When a deal fits, we move fast. When it doesn't, we'll tell you clearly rather than string things along. Here's what we look at.

Location

We focus on Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Polk counties — Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Lakeland, and the communities in between. We buy where we have direct market knowledge and local relationships.

✓ Strong fit
  • Orlando metro and suburbs
  • Kissimmee / St. Cloud
  • Sanford / Lake Mary
  • Lakeland / Polk County
  • Surrounding Central Florida communities

Property Type

Single-family homes are our primary focus. We look at small multifamily (2–4 units) on a case-by-case basis when the numbers make sense. We don't do commercial, raw land, or condos in high-rise buildings.

✓ Primary focus
  • Single-family homes — any size
  • 2–4 unit multifamily (case by case)
  • Townhomes in low-rise communities
✗ We pass on
  • Commercial properties
  • Raw or vacant land
  • High-rise condos

Condition

We're comfortable with distressed properties — that's often where the opportunity is. Cosmetic work, full rehabs, deferred maintenance, fire or water damage. Whatever the condition, we evaluate it honestly and price accordingly.

✓ We buy as-is
  • Cosmetic updates needed
  • Full gut rehab required
  • Deferred maintenance / neglect
  • Fire or water damage
  • Foundation or structural issues
  • Tenant-occupied or vacant

Price Range

We look at deals where the purchase price, combined with estimated rehab costs, leaves room for a rental yield that makes sense or meaningful equity creation on the hold. We're not chasing razor-thin margins.

[ Placeholder — update with your actual range ]
  • Purchase + rehab budget: $[X] – $[X]
  • Target rent-to-cost ratio: [X]%+
  • ARV target: $[X] – $[X]

Seller Situation

We work with sellers in a wide range of circumstances. What they share in common is that speed, certainty, and simplicity is worth more to them than squeezing out the last dollar through a traditional listing.

✓ Situations we know well
  • Estate sales / inherited properties
  • Divorce or separation
  • Behind on payments / pre-foreclosure
  • Landlords exiting rental portfolio
  • Relocation or downsizing
  • Major repairs needed, no budget to fix

What We Pass On

Being honest about what we don't buy saves everyone's time. If your deal falls into these categories, we'll tell you quickly so you can pursue the right channel.

✗ Not a fit for us
  • Deals that only work if everything goes perfectly
  • Seller price expectations that don't reflect condition
  • Properties outside our geographic focus
  • Homes priced at or above retail that need no work
  • Commercial, land, or high-rise condo units
