When all goes well things are good. 10 years ago, Investors enjoyed working with good wholesalers who would actively scout the properties desired and do all of the leg work.Over time, the ability to get involved with little or no skin in the game, the ability to make a lump sum of money quickly, and a plethora of bad information made available by people who were only after the disposable income of those who really did not have enough money to get involved in higher level RE took a good tool and exploited it.Wholesalers exploiting undereducated layman (someone who does this exclusively for a living is operating as an Agent with no licensing issues to restrain them or cause them to disclose expert status), using a lot of really distasteful tactics (like trying to wholesale deals already on the MLS, co wholesaling through a string of folks) and getting greedier and greedier as they went....That's where the stink came from. 

I'm heading down to Miami this week to scout the real estate market and wanted to get a sense of the market from folks on the ground.

Get your attorney to see if there are any recent cases where you could be forced to comply with ADA standards other than the basic.If your tenant prospect is a Vet, check local veteran and boy scout organizations to see if they might help with some possible changes.Don't forget the Unions!
