The Agency’s investigations are complaint driven, so we rely heavily on the public, and our licensees to bring these individuals to our attention"@John Thedford  I suspect this is what John is talking about I suspect the laws are the same in FLA and they are now starting to follow up on complaints.. its easy in Oregon we only have about 3 million people and they WILL follow up on written complaints but as the investigator said its complaint driven.I funded I think the largest turn key operator in the Orlando area 4 to 5 years ago and he bought all his deals from Licensed wholesalers.. just real estate agents who specialized in distressed assets is really all they are.. so the big ones in FLA know they need licenses to resell what they don't own or they need to get into title.also I asked about transactional funding IE double close .. state of Oregon now this is Oregon they seem that as prima Facia evidence that the middle man did not own the property and therefor until proven other wise marketing again a property they did not own.. even though they came into title . but if the state see's two deeds in one day pretty obvious.. and a cease and desist will follow along with a fine.. but as she states its like wack a mole.. the big issue for buyers is so many wholesalers are total beginners in real estate you have a long of time wasted and or bad deals going down.wholesaling is more pronounced in the worse neighborhoods or very distressed assets.

If my seller has an auction date coming up I'm more likely to choose an investor that offers the closest to zero day inspection period and non-refundable deposits.

It's the closest thing to being there without physically being there.

My assumptions: At least 1 on site manager and 1 FT or 2 P/T / On-call maintenance staff, with outsourcing of lawn care, snow removal and possibly items such as unit turnover (paint, flooring).I (and lots of my closest friends, business partners) fund 10% of this deal and I get a loan @7% for the remaining 90%. 

Oakland does not allow septic anymore, if the lot is down slope you will have to spend around $50k +/- to take a pipe to connect a sewer tank below the lot to the closest point to the city sewer line.

When we have a unit for rent now, we put a sign in the window closest to the front door and also post our rental criteria there.

You would just need to google the closest branch and call them.

The closest comps for three families are about 15 yrs older and 330-340kThe previous owner got a grant from the city from the Livable City Initiative for the construction and that put a UDAG deed restriction on the property. 

For instance, @John Fedro has given me the closest thing to 'rules' that he lives by; no homes in 55+For financing, sell the home but carry,All Cash back in ten months60 month+ sellmin cash flow of 300 monthlyORcash for 3x your investmentI'll take a crack at it; but just knowing this stuff will allow a person to structure and analyze a deal when they see one.  

I've been looking for my first investment property for 1 year now and have been unable to find anything that I would consider a "good deal".  Right now, I'm as close as I've ever come to purchasing a house to rent out...
