If you’re flipping a property in Tampa Bay or anywhere across Central Florida, you already know: your profits are made in the rehab. But a bad contractor—or even just a disorganized one—can derail your timeline, blow your budget, and kill your deal.
At Gulf REO Solutions, we work with investors every day to execute fast, reliable, and budget-conscious rehabs that protect your margins and meet buyer expectations. Here’s what smart flippers are doing to stay on track (and how we help them do it).
1. Use Scope-Based Estimates, Not “Ballpark Bids”
Never accept a vague “ballpark” price. You need a detailed, scope-based estimate with defined labor, materials, and timelines. We provide investor-ready bids that break down:
-
Demo and cleanup
-
Roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
-
Kitchens, baths, flooring, paint
-
Exterior work and curb appeal
-
Permits, inspections, and code compliance
We’ll even help you prioritize what’s actually needed to meet ARV targets — not just pad the bid.
2. Know What Retail Buyers Expect in This Market
Florida buyers don’t want cheap finishes or rushed work. They expect clean, safe, move-in ready homes with quality workmanship. We help you deliver the right product for your price point, whether you’re:
-
Flipping a $200k rental
-
Listing a $400k starter home
-
Or prepping a mid-range remodel for FHA buyers
We’ve worked with dozens of investors and wholesalers across the region — we know what’s selling, and we build for that.
3. Stay on Schedule — Every Day Costs You
We know time is money. That’s why we:
-
Show up on time
-
Communicate clearly
-
Keep jobs on a timeline
-
And get you to closing without chaos
Whether you’re on hard money, private equity, or flipping your first deal — we treat your timeline like it’s our own.
4. We Serve All of Central Florida
We work with investors across:
-
Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater
-
Orlando, Sarasota, Lakeland
-
Fort Myers, Ocala, and surrounding markets
Licensed, insured, and experienced — we’re your reliable rehab partner for fast, clean turnarounds.
