Quote from @Bob Smith: HOAsThey can prohibit rentals or impose such crazy regulations you won't be able to rent.They can also change the regulations....I just saw an HOA first try to implement $300/year rental registration. 

You will need to investigate on the property market before you can identify specific locations which have higher value gain through pricing and also renting.Explore different financing options according to your financial situation, such as FHA loans or renovation loans, based on your investment objectives.

You can utilize online resources such as the Worcester County Registry of Deeds (https://massrods.com/worcester/) for title searches, Realtor (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Worcester_MA) for market analysis, and Auction.com (https://www.auction.com/) for auction-specific details and property information.

While being a full time college student and a part time boxer I've primarily focused on wholesaling, building a successful business with my best friend that did around $70,000 our first year in the business.Being from Illinois rules and regulations have caused us to pivot from the traditional assignment of contract.

A lot of folks jumped into the rental market in the last few years and we have more competition even in our specific neighborhood than I remember the last time we rented this home out 3 years ago. 

I left the industry to pursue a career in wholesale electrical sales and am now a project manager at Summit Electric Supply.

I don't like to send "MLS Drip" messages to clients if there isn't specific criteria for the search.

Perhaps this agent and vendor are ready to be creative, as 3 years is a long time to carry property with no income.If you have any specific questions about owner financing, feel free to contact me, I've done a number of deals like this on the private market. 

While I'm excited about the potential, I'm also unfamiliar with the specific dynamics of the Orlando market.I'm particularly interested in finding a small multi-family property (duplex, triplex, or fourplex) that would be a good long-term hold.

A great place to learn more about WA real estate investing and finding deals and connections is our local REIA - https://www.reapsweb.com and checking out some of our Zoom meetings if you can.There's some great pages on Facebook that you can find deals from other investors, and if you're looking for turnkey there's always the MLS (Zillow, Redfin, etc will get you access to those).If you want a specific search setup, reach out and I can get that started based on the criteria you're looking for too.As someone that moved up from CA a few years ago, I was curious why you're looking at WA instead of other long-distance locations?
