Find Cash Buyers in Florida
Florida is the second-largest wholesale real estate market in the US and the most active for out-of-state investors. With no state income tax, year-round warm weather, and a population that grows by over 1,000 people per day, Florida's fundamentals are hard to beat. The state is a full-disclosure market — sold prices are public record — which makes comp analysis and investor identification significantly easier than non-disclosure states. Florida's insurance costs and property taxes are higher than national averages, which factors into rental cash flow analysis.
Florida Wholesale Market Overview
With a population of approximately 23 million and a median home price around $380,000, Florida offers a range of investment opportunities from ultra-affordable cash flow properties to higher-value flip markets. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties (South Florida) represent the highest-value market. Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Orlando offer better cash flow for landlord investors. Cape Coral-Fort Myers and the Space Coast (Brevard County) are growing secondary markets.
How Deal Run Identifies Buyers in Florida
Deal Run uses a buyer identification search architecture to identify active real estate investors near any Florida address. The first query finds landlords — absentee owners who purchased investment property within the last 2-5 years. The second query finds flippers — investors who bought and resold properties within 12 months. Each investor receives an Investor Score based on proximity, recency, budget alignment, property type match, and transaction activity.
This data comes from public transaction records filed with county offices across Florida. Every property sale, deed transfer, and mortgage filing becomes part of the public record, revealing exactly who is buying investment properties, where they are buying, what they are paying, and how frequently they transact.

Wholesaling in Florida
Florida does not have specific wholesaling legislation like Texas, but the state's real estate commission has issued guidance that wholesaling is legal as long as the wholesaler has equitable interest via a valid contract. Assignment clauses must be in the original purchase contract. Florida requires that anyone marketing real estate for others hold a real estate license — wholesalers should market their contract interest, not the property itself. Title companies in Florida are more wholesaler-friendly than many states.
