Notes from our Orlando desk. How we buy as-is, how a flip runs, and what rate moves do to tired housing stock. No course. No national franchise copy.
Freddie Mac's 30-year print jumped after September 16. Financed buyers feel it in the payment. Tired houses feel it in showings.
A net sheet, not a slogan. Commission, repairs, days on market, and if the deal actually closes.
Keep it, rent it, buy siblings out, or sell as-is for cash. Listing is optional once title can close.
Buy box, rehab, hold, then list. How we actually run a Central Florida flip after the cash close.
Roof, HVAC, tenants, code, clutter. No repair list. As-is is what we price, not a slogan.
Written offer. Title. A 7 to 21 day close if the file is clean. No listing photos. No lender waiting on an appraisal.
The Fed moved a quarter point on September 16. Payments, showings, and tired houses that were already going to sit all feel it.
If the house is sitting, inherited, or too tired to show, a cash sale can close without photos, open houses, or a repair list.
Two different paths. Pick the one that fits.
