I mean, it's your property......At least that's how I always handled it....

Are you interested in getting MLS access and access to look at all of the vacant properties first as an investor who has a license? 

Next step is a multifamily property.

Directly investing in real property investments, whether property, notes, tax liens, or leases requires a THOROUGH understanding of all LEGAL aspects concerning real estate law in general and the investment in particular.It’s IMPOSSIBLE for someone who hasn’t accumulated either a legal education in real estate law or 20 years active experience to have the knowledge and understanding of legal aspects sufficient to reduce legal risk to an acceptable level when investing directly in tax liens, notes or real property.  

Having a good team can make a big difference in fixing up a property, avoiding hidden issues, and saving money in the long run.I recently found SureBuild Restoration – they offer a lot of home restoration services and seem pretty reputable.

Now that I am retired, I am eager to: 1) Gain hands-on experience in flipping homes in Florida, 2) Find properties with potential for value-add/forced appreciation, 3) Partner with experienced home flippers for collaborative projects.

, as property owners just abandoned their properties.  

Are the current Property Management softwares outdated?

I’ll prioritize continuing my search for distressed and discounted properties, avoiding those areas you mentioned! 

Look online to see if any properties are being offered for sale or rent with a legal basement unit and you may get a tip off.
