Fix and Flip in Miami, FL
Miami market thesis
Miami is an international-capital-driven market — Latin American capital underwrites a buyer floor unmatched by any other US metro. Fix & Flip works in B-tier suburban submarkets (Hialeah, Kendall) but the insurance + flood + reciprocal-wind picture is now the dominant operational risk.
