(But I'll try to give you a bit of a primer to help you out).First and foremost - in Florida - Foreclosures are usually ALL CASH transactions - meaning financing isn't an option.  

My advice for any 1031X transaction is to be over prepared. 

Its better if you get a property managers phone number because you can cross reference that with what is listed on their website. 

You can go out in town on any night and listen to realtor, or mortgage person talk about how slow it is and how they have no transactions for a few months.

Hi Carolyn, We just helped an investor in the MA area this month on an STR purchase transaction.  

The thing with real estate is that transacting itself is expensive. 

The property was located in a desirable area with good market demand, making it an ideal candidate for a fast transaction.

PM company did not send me an eviction report.I got my report from running background check on the tenant with her first and last name and cross-referenced it with the info the management company provided me about her employment and other info.

@Jeff EbertRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

There is a lot of risk to the seller in a sub2 transaction.
