I would not do a fix and flip in Florida as a new investor with the costs (and reliability) of contractors and the insurance costs right now.

While we do not see income from these properties and are not managing them we do have a significant amount of depreciation and losses that have been assigned to us and carried over from the past couple years.I am invested in some growth/equity focused projects already and am specifically looking in reliable income focused strategies that are tax efficient provided the losses I have from my family.

The off-market game, although still very competitive, has brought my investors more consistent and reliable results. 

Hi RyanFind a reliable property manager for accurate rent rates to determine how the numbers will work.

I knew that I was paying premium because that's the point of turnkey companies, however at least my houses had reliable foundations and structures.

Does anyone having any referrals for good and reliable contractors in Augusta, GA?

The only reliable data you'll get will be GRM. 

Nonetheless, traditional financing proved to be a reliable option.

I am confident that I would be a respectful and reliable tenant.Thank you for your time and consideration.

It's crucial, however, to consider managing a long-distance property, especially regarding selecting reliable tenants and handling maintenance issues.
