Quote from @Mike Sfera: @Blake Clothier are management companies turnkey providers or is that a company that specializes in those services? 

I started the tax lien foreclosure and the owner redeemed with about 2 weeks to go.You have to look at each county individually to see;Do they sell OTC liens/certificatesIf they do sell OTC, do they sell OTC all year long or only in a special OTC auctionIn Florida, counties that offer OTC certificates, you can earn the full annual 18% (1.5% per month).

Whereas, you could be on the AG's hook for screwing John Doe the homeowner out of his sole possession in his life. 

This in turn could turn away buyers/delay possession to a buyer who wants the home delivered vacant. 

Stessa is a great option, but Baselane is my current personal favorite, partly because it doesn't require that you use a special bank account for rent collection like Stessa does. 

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Using your first property as collateral could help reduce the cash you need upfront, but it’s essential to weigh the risks and it's not really recommended specially if this will be your first.I recommend focusing on building reserves or seeking partnerships to fund flips.

Even through that, SWFL is pretty special.
