FAQ
Tampa fixer-upper questions.
- Are ARVs verified?
- Each Tampa listing includes recent sold comps. Your own walk-through and contractor scope are still expected.
- Can I use a 203(k) or similar loan?
- Some yes, most no — most fixer-uppers in our inventory don't pass FHA condition standards. Hard money or cash works.
- What's the typical rehab budget?
- Ranges widely: $15k cosmetic flips up to $150k+ full guts. Each Tampa listing includes a starting scope estimate.
- Who pulls permits?
- Buyer post-close. Your GC or you, depending on Florida licensing rules.
How this works in Florida
Fixer-upper in Florida: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
Florida foreclosures average 8+ months in court, which is why pre-foreclosure cash sales are common here. We can close in 7 days if you need to beat insurance or HOA issues to closing.
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
Either a title company or an attorney can close in Florida. Documentary stamp tax applies on every deed — budget for it in your net.
Local demand
Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami have the deepest cash-buyer pools in the country, so competition for your home is intense. Condo and insurance issues that kill MLS deals don't usually scare off our matched buyers.
Tampa market context
What makes Tampa different.
Tampa is a major metro of about 732,058 residents in Hillsborough County, FL. Average household income runs roughly $68k, which puts the estimated median home value around $285,000 and typical days-on-market near 24. That mix shapes how fixer-upper deals price and how fast they trade here — bigger metros see more competing offers, smaller markets see fewer bids per home but cleaner negotiating leverage.

Glossary
Key terms for fixer-upper in Tampa.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Tampa property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
