@Joe Butcher Could you have closed with regular financing or would it have taken too long for the seller you were dealing with?

I personally use 3 on a regular basis: one for general RE transactions and contracts, another for evictions and another for entity formation.CheersLarry

I am looking to have regular investor meet-ups if you are in town.

Hello,I hope this is in a good section, Its my first true post other than my introduction earlier today.I have rentals in the central florida area and as such I scour Zillow and Realtor.com on a regular bases just to get an idea on pricing, sales and other rentals.Mine are in a complex called Columbia Arms.

The mobile home dealerships can help in this area since they receive calls from buyers on a regular basis.Hope that helps, good luck!

There is a good chance to rent as my neighborhood is near a private university and there are other rentals in my neighborhood but the going rents will not fully cover my mortgage, taxes, insurance; not to mention the HOA fees, lawn service, regular maintenance.

As for the extra maintenance and such, you can get regular lawn maintenance for $100-150/mo.

If you get with the right company ie. one that regularly works with investors.

You'll have to head out to the OC for the closest ones that meet regularly but there are several great ones there.

The home is put up for sale for like 6 days for $1 and if no one government entity bids on it goes back to a regular listing.
