If you’re interested in investing here, I’d encourage you to speak with a knowledgeable local real estate professional or lender to get accurate guidance.

Quote from @Daniel Tanasa: Hello Terry, If you're looking to find houses that are in pre-foreclousure you can use a website like www.foreclosure.com and you can get the list of properties and start marketing to them. 

If so, I'd like to connect and get pricing for a couple of permits out here in FL.

And once you get a sizable amount built up in there look at some of the higher interest accounts that they have.

You'll want to stretch yourself, but not get in over your head.

Get out of your comfort zone.

That does not mean you are getting the best one unfortunately.
