Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire WTB——Florida real estate

They’re going to be some deals in the impact area for all cash buyers but you’re not going to be able to get reasonably priced insurance. The overpriced insurance you can buy will not come close to making you whole from windstorm or flood damage.

Know a guy that paid 510k for 2300 sq ft w/pool March of this year. He picked Punta Gorda partly because the hurricanes hardly ever land there. Day before yesterday they spent best part of 24 hours getting literally pounded, while the eye just hung around without much movement. They are fine, house lost a few shingles, some soffit. Surge did not reach them. Power gonna be out maybe two weeks or more. Ian was supposed to land here, I got lucky.

Someone mentioned yankeetown FL. Not a bad place….just north of Crystal River. Great inshore fishing area. Ingles, FL just down the road has the real estate deals. I know w neighborhood with large lots of 15-30k.

Check out Ingles

Surprisingly the deals on wet houses were few and far between after the hurricane Hermine surge flooded the Crystal River area in 2016.

I was up and down every street for weeks looking and the few that did hit the market were not being given away.

FEMA was quite friendly to everyone on that storm.

Quite a few did hit the market after being rehabbed but at sky high prices.

I got one, but it never hit the market and it was of unique circumstances.
