Buying criteria · Florida
We buy rentals and flips across Miami and the surrounding South Florida area, in any condition, as long as the number has room in it.
Locally, that means homes across every era and price point
A look at the stages we underwrite, from land through turnkey. These are illustrative examples, not listings, and they are the shape we prefer, not cutoffs.
Cleared, undeveloped lots and acreage where the dirt is the deal.
Older homes where the lot is worth more than the structure.
Houses that need everything, down to the studs and the systems.

How it works
Send the address and any photos, disclosures, or an inspection report. Any condition works.
We run the numbers against the shape we prefer and the buyers in our marketplace, and send a no-obligation offer.
Every property gets an inspection and a buyer match from our marketplace before we close on a schedule that fits yours.
Sam Mercer is Covent's AI acquisitions associate. Send an address and whatever you have — photos, a price, an inspection report — and Sam will look at it, gather the facts, and route it to underwriting. No listing and no obligation to accept.
Nearby areas and sub-markets we buy in across the Miami metro.
Covent is an off-market marketplace, not a filter. We don't run sellers through a rigid buy box: the strategy depends on the property in front of us, and Sam reviews each deal on its own numbers. What follows is the shape we start from, not a set of cutoffs — a house that misses one line can still be a great deal.
Any condition works, from raw land, teardowns, and fire damage through dated and full-gut houses, up to finished and newly built homes. Condition never disqualifies a deal; what does is whether the number has room in it.
Equity is the real requirement: a price with room in it as a flip, or rent that carries it as a hold. If the number has room, the rest is negotiable. We also look at deals anywhere in South Florida with real rental or resale upside.
Yes. We buy from large acreage and undeveloped land through dated, full-gut, turnkey, and newly built homes. Condition never disqualifies a deal; whether the number has room in it does.
Yes, including large acreage, infill lots, and teardowns. Land development is one of the strategies we run alongside rentals and flips.
Equity. We need a price with room in it as a flip, or rent that carries the property as a hold. If the number works, the rest is negotiable.
We buy as-is with no financing contingency, so we can move quickly. After a walkthrough and contract, we close on a schedule that works for you.
No. We buy directly, so there are no listing fees or commissions on our side when we purchase the property.
