Why I Built This
(And Why It's Free)
Hey, I'm Clayton Davis. I've been in the renovation and construction business for over 15 years here in Jacksonville.
I started as a home inspector, which taught me to see problems before they become expensive disasters.
Then I transitioned to renovation work, where I've completed 150+ investor projects.
Here's what I noticed: Most property investors lose money not because they pick bad properties, but because they
underestimate renovation costs by 30-50%.
They get excited about a deal, make an offer, then realize halfway through the rehab that their budget is blown and their ROI is gone.
So I built this toolkit with everything I wish investors had BEFORE they came to me with budget overruns and stress.
It's free because:
I want you to make better investment decisions (even if you don't hire me)
If you DO need renovation work, I'd rather you already understand the real costs and timeline
I'm part of the Jacksonville Property Investment Group community, and I believe in helping fellow investors succeed
Use these tools on every property you evaluate.
They'll save you from bad deals and help you spot great opportunities others miss.
