I also do public bank foreclosures, and tax deeds.I can give you complete access to the MLS covering Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties.I can set up an automatic MLS feed for you too, based on your parameters, and provide CMA's on properties of interest.I use detailed investment analysis programs that you can be tweaked with different costs, growth rates, % financing, interest rates, etc. it gives you not only Cash on Cash Cap Rates but also true Internal Rates of Return IRR%.I do REO's including HUD and Fannie Mae.
