Just be sure to optimize for location within that market as much as your budget will allow and also make sure you are compliant with local laws. 

It is basically everything I do in my local market....I'd love to go with a local property manager but they hide behind fair housing laws and say the property owner cannot refuse whatever tenant they pick.

The other half are caveat emptor.2) When buying through an individual that likely isn't following state real estate laws already since they likely are in violation of the state brokers act....you probably arnt getting a disclosure even if state law requires it.

Each state has their own eviction laws, and I would want you to set up it right on the front end.From what you've written, whoever has the ownership shoudl be the landlord on the lease.

. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

please reply with actual law codes if it’s criminal.

My first recommendation is to check your state laws regarding wholesaling.

The worst thing is that states and municipalities are using wildly inflated data that AirDNA and their ilk are pitching to create more and more restrictive zoning laws based on the perception of windfall host profits, further creating challenges to supporting our mortgages in a region with an already long 4-6 month shoulder season.

That should be all you need unless there is something strange with Florida law. 

They focus here because the price points are much easier, laws are landlord friendly, and more importantly they have a company they're partnering with that's vertically integrated that they like and can trust with over 20 years of doing business.
