Buy a few books, start simple, do your own property managing.

Simple math, right?

I haven't seen another PM tool do what they do with the virtual accounts, simple transfers, savings and checking accounts, etc.

I would spend some time working on the formatting to make it as simple as possible to understand for a banker or buyer.

New construction, townhome style or even small simple house style - coupled with nice neighborhood amenities, and in a good school zone 

Just make sure to vet them carefully.Overall, my advice is to keep things simple for your first deal.

Pretty simple question..

You better reach out to them days before the auction and give them a simple choice: allow foreclosure sale  to occur or allow you to take it over from them, with equity justifying your purchase.    

But they are simple, respond quickly to questions, Lloyds is their underwriter, etc. 

Miami is still doing well, Fort Myers is adjusting and has lower real estate than 12 months ago, etc..)My simple thought, for what it is worth, is choose a place to live and not invest in:  choose the location you and your family WANT to live in ( because of the schools, taxes, weather, other family there, etc...) and then buy and do real estate there (and get whatever licenses you need once you start third party management).I wish you well!
