On most any day you could find people walking dogs, or children playing in the area.

thats horrible, hopefully you can get some of the cash back. there are just horrible people in this world.

I don't think its as easy as people make it out to be. 

I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

Just know that it is a "no days off" kind of business and very mechanical.I would suggest documenting your process via video so that eventually you can bring people on to replace the different hats you will be wearing.Keep in mind of these 5 components of any wholesale business.lead generation, deal sourcing, underwriting, marketing, transaction coordination.

The area has certain advantages like shelter from regulation risk (pretty much as low as anywhere in the country if you buy in the approved STR tourist zones) and long term security (people aren't going to stop going to Orlando anytime soon). 

I've seen many people suggest a cash out refi but I like the flexibility of the heloc.

People move, people get busy, people have remorse, people get new SPOUSES, and very very rare is the X that is 100% cooperative and willing to sign anything that gets put in front of them. 

The list of people who helped me - took a risk on me, taught me what they knew, showed me an example of what not to do, gave me their time, believed in me, and even those who questioned me, broke contracts with me, owed me money - is innumerable, and I'm grateful to every one of them.Today was an exciting day, and there will be more like it in the months ahead!

It's mostly retired people or people who have no money.
