In FL PS only provides about 37% of the leads/oppertunities going through the county records offices (I have  study I have done comparing the 2 to back this up if you want me to post it/send it) recorder offices Florida and Hilsborough are obviously competitive but if your getting information before everyone else and using it fast in the market where it matters its not so competititve.If your leads are for say absentee owner, tired  landlord then you want the owner to have had the property for longer to hopefully increase motivation.

However, I was talking to a DSCR loan officer about a property I was looking at and they told me that they would only lend to an entity like a LLC or corporation; they would not lend to me individually.

Regarding costs there are a lot of factors considered but to give you a ballpark idea, here is a brief scenario: Our main office is based out of Cherry Hill NJ, a typical 3 bedroom row-home lead-paint inspection in that area would cost on average $450, however we can service the entire state of New Jersey (North Jersey office in Montclair, NJ). 

I'm a lending manager with 120 loan officers under me and 2 of my great friends and colleagues specialize in manufactured lending The reason most lenders don't do them is because:1.

Without a closet is would be referred to as a office or study.

Assuming this is an 8 cap neighborhood you'd have a ~$420-450k value within a year (unless property taxes are crazy high) when leases would renew since it'd be valued as a commercial building with the office space.

Look up the loan officer and not the company (do they have any online reviews or social media presence; if possible look up their production numbers to see if they are any good)4.
