Hey Cecil, if you have the capital to operate locally, and it fits your goals to do so, I highly recommend doing that.Congrats on securing your primary though.

For example, in Kansas they have the 14/30 (basically you will rectify the situation in 14 days and if not you have 30 days to depart i.e. before you can file eviction).

I just don't know how well it would work since I already have all the entities and would just need advice, consulting, cleanup, and filing returns, that's pretty much it!

It contains hundreds of files such as ebooks, checklists and spreadsheets for real estate investors: https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesGood luck.

Ensure you collect a proper security deposit (typically one month's rent in Florida) to cover potential damages.Your plan to increase rent next year makes sense given rising costs (taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

I just don't have the money for an attorney general or to file a complain (not really sure how it works to submit a complaint to an AG).

Focusing on the best quality real estate will allow you secure more favorable financing terms, more likely to achieve favorable exits/refinances, more likely to attract the best capital partners.

The mortgage is secured by the real estate.  

McElhannon: I'm curious on peoples go to approach to secure financing for an investment property - use a broker? 

I see people without capital no experience or capital being taught to “help” desperate homeowners by tying up their property in a contract they have no way to successfully close without finding someone to pay more; costing the homeowner behind on their mortgage payments to lose valuable time that can easily lead to foreclosure; I see a program taught to students to take over a property ‘subject to”, leaving the seller unable to qualify for further mortgage financing, responsible for a loan secured by a property he no longer owns, and all held together by someone with 0 experience, limited or no capital, and no liability.
