Strong 98/100

Miami is one of the cleaner wholesale environments in the country this cycle. Direct mail and list-pull strategies are converting.

TL;DR — data signals
  • 80.2% of sales below list — sellers negotiating
  • Median DOM 57 days — standard cadence works
  • Sale-to-list 0.963 — buyer market
  • Buyer mix: landlords / BRRRR

Wholesaling in Miami starts with one question: how often are sellers leaving money on the table? In this market, the answer is "consistently." 80.2% of closed sales land below list, with a sale-to-list ratio of 0.963 — clear evidence that sellers are negotiating and motivated-seller direct mail has room to convert.

The lists that should produce here, based on the current data:

- Price-cut targets — when 80.2% of homes close below list, price-cut filters surface owners already psychologically resigned to discount
- Tired landlords — high active inventory (6,191) signals supply outpacing demand; rental owners with deferred maintenance start exiting first

Disposition matters as much as sourcing. Miami buyers right now lean toward landlords and BRRRR operators — the 6.22% gross rent yield supports cash-flow underwriting, so your assignment fee competes with a real DSCR-positive deal on the buyer's side.

Net: spread is workable here. The arithmetic that needs to clear is the same everywhere — purchase + assignment fee + buyer's rehab + buyer's profit ≤ 70-75% of ARV — but the room to find that spread depends on whether sellers will negotiate. The data above says they will in Miami.
