If Florida recognizes Transfer On Death dees (TODs) subject A could fill one out naming subject B to avoid having to go through probate.

Time consuming - if you have 10 applicants are you going to interview each?

I was recently let go so I decided to start my own business.

Surprises set in left and right while doing the work and just going through the motions for the first time. 

I wouldn't touch anything outside the urban core. if your strategy is to buy existing and old I'd recommend not to. as a newer investor depending on your liquidity look at build to rent development. building investment properties below market value by 25% and refinancing out of it to do it again. the urban core has tax abatements as well that are 15 years right now you can apply for. that means that taxes will be around $600 to $800 per year. there's cash Flow but the existing inventory market dried up a few years ago in the urban core. local realtors are going to push you to the trash areas like hilltop, south linden, etc because it's the only place numbers work. columbus is great, but remember a tenant who pays $1800 a month is different than a tenant who pays $900 a month. let me know if I can help any other way! 

There's not going to be a nurse who will pay $4000 themselves to rent a 5/2 and the property wouldn't cash flow if I rent to 1 nurse for lets say $1400 / month. 

I’d love advice on leveraging my existing assets, navigating seller finance deals, or other tips for scaling effectively.

First that you will not go back into consumer debt (credit cards, cars, etc).

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with a question: Where’s all the housing going to come from?
