In this YouTube short, Speaker A explains how a property located on a county island can dramatically increase its market value—by roughly $1.5‑$2 million—if the owner secures city annexation before closing. The speaker emphasizes that this is not traditional wholesaling, as the value is added through the annexation process itself. Speaker B asks for clarification, requesting a quick definition of annexation and whether the strategy should also involve development and rezoning. The dialogue highlights annexation as a strategic tool to convert a county‑jurisdiction property into a city‑jurisdiction one, thereby unlocking higher valuation and potential for further development.

you could literally get it annexed before closing and then sell it as an annexed property as kind of like a wholesale— I don't want to call it wholesaling because it's not. Wholesalers don't do shit to improve the property value. This particular item here, being that it's in a county island, if you can get the city to approve your idea and say, yes, we'll annex it, you'll add probably another $1.5 million to $2 million to the property just based on the fact that it's now a city property.
So annex? Um, can you give me a quick definition? The real question: do you want to develop, annex, and rezone?
