I can send letters to those property owners.Do you have some special insight that you could put to work? 

You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

One option is to hire contractors that specialize in investment property rehab and manage themselves.

I wouldn't say its necessary that there is a lot of upfront cost when starting in real estate, the cost are better attributed to a per project basis.

I might be late to this conversation but it has taken me a long time to find an insurance agent that specializes in rentals in central Florida.

Thomas Franklin special thanks to you for taking the time to give me so much information!

The commute will make you miserable and it's getting worse everyday specially on the Grand Parkway/I-10 interchange. 

If the dept of human rights really did call you...then I would definately talk to a lawyer, but not just any lawyer, one who specializes in landlord tenant issues, and one who does so in your county.Don't listen to people who say that section 8 isn't protected or that you don't have to take section 8, it depends on what county the rental property is in.Going forward, don't ever give anyone any attitude, encourage everyone to apply, be as nice as possible because when peoples feelings get hurt it's when things get ugly, have a written criteria that you use.

I have a successful investor who specializes in this.At the end of the day, every market is different.

We specialize in buy and hold multiple family.
