@Landon LehmannStart by setting your goals, like wanting quick cash or money over time, and picking the kind of property you want.

If you pick the right spot in FL, I think you can still flip with your experience, but the margins are tight now because values are going down in a lot of parts of Florida.

I'd love to pick up one in my area!  

That means picking up the phone and talking to them.

Quick update: They still haven't gotten back to me.I've seen my place listed on Zillow and their site.The listing price is at a fair market rate, and given the proximity to two major universities, the rental market should have picked up already.

When it comes to contractors, or any service for that matter, it pays to remember the following:There are three kinds of service--you can pick any two:GOOD - CHEAP - FAST1. 

I want to pick some of your brains—whether you're newbies or experienced agents—on where you have found the most success in finding qualifying cash buyers.So far, I've tried Facebook, Craigslist, cold calling, etc., but nothing has worked for me.

Pick your poison.   

You pick it based on it's effectiveness to make money!

I place only used and would never pay for a new stove or refrigerator.I simply keep my eyes out for good working stoves and fridges and usually have a couple spares on hand and if something goes down that is not an easy fix I just grab the trailer and dolly and exchange it.And in my area you can find working white stoves and single fridges for $100.00 each if you pick it up yourself.
