Be very weary of anyone claiming that and then asking you to send application fees and such to them.To operate in FLA as a flipper where you are buying distressed at 250k+ you better have 100k - 150k liquidity at all times.I am doing a refi for someone on an STR in Miami right now. 

But hey we could get lucky and find a distressed property in queens somewhere lol.

Ask the operator if they conducted a home inspection & sewer/septic inspection on the property in its distressed state.

So maybe start driving for dollars or walking for dollars in neighborhoods that would be good rentals or that you like. look for houses in distress or long grass or multifamily and call the owners and see if they want to sell.

I'm currently working on a project with some friends to buy Co-Living homes in the Austin and Dallas area, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for those good distressed/creative finance opportunities.

I glance at Zillow for distressed opportunities.

LEVERAGE it and find distressed deals.

The cost of entry is low, and cash flow is high.You can find distressed off-market duplexes under 120k and SFH under 80k in B to C-class areas.

You can also approach sellers directly to explore opportunities in distressed situations

It will get you in touch with some people, but definitely can't be counted on.....especially for more distressed assets/people.
