But given the state the areas are in its increasingly difficult so I'm biding my time.In the mean time I wanted to start STR arbritage, at the same time I will still be trying to own a property, but I want to be proactive rather than wait for the bidding wars to calm down or find a gold egg in a ..haystack?

I haven't used this company yet but many people have stated that Lickety-split in Jax can help resolve the issue.

Note ADUs do the opposite seeing that small units in small counts is very expensive development.I see nothing in anything you have stated that addresses what i believe has to occur to accomplish your goal. 

So today as I stated when i started over..

Lien, State Tax Lien, Fed Tax Lien.

In Florida, hold over tenants can legally be charged double rents, that is FL state law.

Very important to me especially investing out of state 

I am confused how the numbers Gregg and Craig are stating are so far off.

As far as investing out of state goes, I would pick something you can drive to in 4 hrs or less.

Both mentorship state they will help you get your first deals or you get your money back.
