You have to build a good relationship if you want to get special deals.Drive around.

@Kevin Coleman -Here are answers to your questions:1) Buying a short term rental vacation home here in the Orlando area doesn't involve any special requirements than in other states.2) You will need to use a lender licensed in Florida. 

If you have to discount or give a special rate to get them, it’s money well spent (lost). :-).

The pitfall that I have a special advantage seeing is people who are trying out long-distance investing for the first time getting used by unscrupulous middlemen.Again and again, you'll see posts here on BP from people out on the West Coast trying to get into rental properties in the Midwest for passive income.

Through an FHA loan, you are permitted to purchase from 1-4 units, up to various USD amounts, depending on whether the area of the planned purchase in considered floor, ceiling, or special exception.

If they are not anything special or of particular value, I'd probably just give them to the police to handle. 

Not anything special but shouldn't be as bad as this rule of thumb indicates either.

@Denise Pauzano and try to find someone that specializes in evictions.

In prior years, you would test your business to determine if you were actually running (a very unsuccessful) business or if you were simply dabbling in a hobby.This article is a pretty decent break down of how that test is done using the facts and circumstances present in your endeavorIf running an unsuccessful business, your losses might be deductible, buy depending on the nature of those experiences, they might just be Start Up Expenses, which are handled much differently (and also not entirely deductible)If you are just dabbling in a hobby, then prior to 2018, there were special rules about writing off those expenses, but in 2018 most of the ability to write off Hobby Expenses are now gone.

Some comments on what @Mike S. and @John Morgan said.Yes use a warranty deed to transfer the title (actually a special warranty deed may be a better choice.
