When looking at the Florida properties, be sure to get several insurance quotes. 

You also have to consider loan amounts typically need to be above $250K will carry a 3-5 year prepayment penalty.The biggest thing I see is loan officer are quick to offer a pre-approval for you but the fail to run the DSCR/Rents ratios up front.

Currently, the market is still short on supply so when putting in offers you need to put on the 'seller' hat and think what they would want.

I like Hospitable, but the ability to automate this one thing might be worth a switch if someone else offers it.

Matt @Matt WassumIt's usually not a problem to get insurance when this happens.. they just surcharge you for it.  

It offers a variety of opportunities to suit your interests.

Facebook and ALE Solutions (for insurance placements) can be good places as well and I would recommend reaching out directly to the hospitals that are close by.

It is also impossible to compete with all the on-sight resorts at "all" the theme park tourist traps that offer tons of perks you can't compete with.   

I typically rehab and offer owner finance, but I am open to working with the Section 8 Rent to Own program.

Both Prosper and Lending Club offer loans big enough to cover your 50% down payment.Something I would never recommend to most people, but as a last resort -- if you absolutely knew you COULD pay it off any time you wanted, you could put the down payment or at least a big chunk of it on a credit card and float it between 0% balance transfer offers until you get it paid off.
