The property was listed as a probate, so I had to go through my agent.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

Couple questions for you, as I am an agent and aspiring investor.

I considered starting out house hacking a MF, but it will only increase my monthly expenses, not lower them or provide cash flow. 

The struggle comes when you plan to sell, pay close attention to how the bank would treat the loan in the event you would sell.Even though its a bit more work, banks are typically open to these loans as it provides them with additional collateral in the event of default.  

Hey there,I would love to connect with agents and investors in Ocala Florida!

My focus is on providing either turnkey-style space for those interested in temporary, infrequent use or long-term leasing for business folks who require conference room space (or perhaps event space).

Utilizing the preREO strategy, a receiver (i.e. a local real estate agent or property manager who you may already have a relationship with) could be appointed to make repairs and rent out the home during the foreclosure process.

I specialize in investment properties as a real estate agent, and I’d love to connect and help out where I can.

What's left is simply $ to close (HML easily solves that) getting the vendors to do the "simple stuff" (pick your platform; Angie, Neighborly etc etc) and than to sell it (more agents than one can count happy to list).
