Orlando/Kissimmee is a solid choice, but I'd also recommend Tampa and St.

I am just trying to get as much knowledge as possible. 

We are trying to make a choice between using Datazap (3.5¢) per name, vs REISkip (24¢) per name.

And with no business ownership knowledge or experience, correct? 

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

Is there some hard money lender can help or I have some better choice? 

May have been an actual choice, or simply unaware that you should have, either way a court case on this would go nowhere.Use it as a learning experience for the next time around.

I believe in the power of networking and sharing knowledge, and I’m eager to connect with fellow investors to explore potential collaborations and opportunities.Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or meet up!

What is not OK is to state hearsay as facts and confuse random opinions of random people with actual knowledge or, as you put it, "research."

To my knowledge you can't require the units be vacant unless you want to wait for the current owner to send notices out and then purchase.
