That is wild! 

In speaking with the assessor's office the lady said there are currently only 2 active investors so I am thinking if I can find a process for this it could be productive.

Let your imagination run wild. 1) Sending a few burley friends over at night for a little friendly persuasion. 2) Planting drugs in the tenants vehicle and calling the police. 3) Hanging a dead animal on the front door. 4) report them to child welfare

I bought a house in a auction in NY that is occupied by the former owner, it’s an 60yo lady who is not willing to leave the house, even though I tried to negotiate.

I met with a lady two weekends ago about four duplexes she's selling. 

Daytona Beach + motel = Wild West.

Upper unit lady has been there for 20 plus years and the lower unit was 100% remodeled.

The wild card is the electric work.

You will have fees to join & usually to keep your license active with a sponsoring broker which vary wildly (I can tell you about mine if you want to reach out). 

Alan if your worried about this.. simply contact your DRE regulator and ask how you submit your proposed business plan with your proposed marketing etc.. and ask them if what your planning to do is a licensed activity. they will respond in writing if they bless your plan then off you go.. other wise this is state specific and as you know wildly controversial.
