Not much, but something to keep in mind.They are all good options, I would also recommend a place where you are physically the closest to or can get to easily.

Distressed properties are real estate assets that are usually sold at a discount due to financial or physical distress.

I felt physically sick and had to go tell my wife..

Nor will you get a Constable to go with you if you have not confronted the issues ahead of time......unless you encounter physical violence or a threat to your life, I highly doubt you will get any support in giving an eviction notice to a tenant.  

(note not this one mentioned above) I will not do business with anyone who is not physically in the USA for vendor services or this type of program. 

I haven't had a full-time employment for a while but I have money saved up to buy a property or two.Is anyone here living abroad also or know anyone living abroad that is not physically buying properties in the USA but abroad?

I would like to pass on a little bit of useful information for anybody thinking of converting their permit over to owner-builder. 1 - You will not be able to sell the property for a minimum of 365 days from the date of issuing of the CO. 2 - The property must be for the owner's own use and occupancy and not for sale or lease which means you will not be able to rent it out. 3 - The owner-builder must ensure that all employees working on the project have the required licenses.4 - The owner-builder must provide worker's compensation as required by Florida law.5 - To apply for the owner builder permit, you must physical visit the building department.There are others requirements and conditions, however these are the main items.

Dominated by about 7 tech non physical product companies.  6.  

Physically see the property, don't rely on web pictures, sometimes they are years old and don't show the current state or the entire property. 

This way if there’s physical damage by residents the company pays the first $500 to fix it.
