I have viewed some auction sites, but have read very mixed reviews on whether or not they are reputable.

Is there an all inclusive website that is reputable that you would recommend?

I suspect they are not going to take any risk for a few hundred dollars in title and escrow fees so they will stick to their 2 year minimums.there is a company in CA I believe that specializes in insuring these..i checked into this on a lot I had in Charleston SC that I was having a hard time getting insurance for.. but when I read there policy it was clear .. no lender ( construction lender ) at least a bank would rely on it.. and I highly doubt a reputable mortgage lender would rely on that title insurance..

Any reputable QI would not let you do that hopefully. 

Better for gaining a reputation as a landlord that will work with their tennants rather than one for being a hard ***. 

A reputable - reliable - affordable contractor(s) is very important, too.

You certainly don't want the reputation of someone who is not true to his words verbal or written.

. ;) That being said, make sure you find someone reputable, bonded, and insured.

He offered the land to me at cost, along with his counsel.I also have a connection to a local contractor with a good reputation, a positive history of partnering with investors, and knowledge of the area.I'm cautiously optimistic, but I realize that I'm ignorant.

Can anyone recommend some reputable PM's in Central Florida and going north from there?
