And then we negotiate with the owners on the "owner financing" options that they would give to us (if they are even open to it).If someone needs "private financing" or "alternative" financing...we can still make our normal realtor commission here and then they can show for any property.I hope some of what I am saying makes sense. 

Since I live in Orlando, I pass by the villages (right off both sides of turnpike) on my way to Ocala.

Why don't you do a LOT more research here on BP, via articles, books and podcasts, then apply what you've learned and then ask clarifying questions on the forums?

Listing it “as is” with a $25k rehab concession can attract these buyers.Consider these options:List on investor-focused platforms like Roofstock or BiggerPockets or Facebook Marketplaces, where you’ll find buyers who appreciate tenant-occupied properties.Network with local investors or REI groups in your area to find someone looking for a turnkey rental with upside potential.Hire a real estate agent experienced in selling tenant-occupied properties, but adjust your pricing to cover commissions if needed.Make sure to highlight the stable tenants and ADU potential—those could be big selling points!

Your move from NY to GA should be seamless and no issue at all on the 1031 side.

Hi @Michelle SimoniI would use the Lenders tab on BiggerPockets and reach out to a few different lenders to compare.

What I mean by that is that paying for leads that get sent to you just because you are paying for them is not smart scale right now, it costs too much for lukewarm.I was on Zillow Flex with my team of 50 for years and crushed it, but we had to kiss a lot of frogs at 35 percent referral fee.

Network more -  connections could also bring on some good deals.
