It seems to be a healthy, growing market in the medical field, plus his father, a former construction manager, would take care of property management (we live in New York) and help vet the properties we'd be considering, which could help reduce costs.I did some initial searching online and was a bit disappointed at the prices--many well above the rough 100k mark I'm targeting, and most between 150-250k--because the cash flow opportunity doesn't seem to be as promising as I hoped.

Low cost of living, diversified sectors with rapid development, plenty of mfam properties, and healthy rent growth.

But honestly, outside Seattle and the most rural of farm towns you get a healthy mix of all sides that know how to except that not everyone shares the same views. 

The ocala market is definitely healthy and great for rentals.

Which is perfectly fine and healthy as an investor because at the end of the day, we all want to learn and share strategies which are working. 

In spite of not having the social and normal documentation we would expect this tenant and others are working full time jobs and driving past some healthy body holding a sign saying they are hungry on a Tuesday morning and that body has a social security card and all the credentials to gain employment.I would run my normal background check and use the same acceptance/denial policy I always have and let the results determine if they qualify.You may very well end up with a tenant that knows they have a bigger challenge to find a place to rent than others and once they have moved in will do everything in their power to be a perfect tenant because they do not want to go through the change and challenge of having landlords skeptical of them due to the lack of a social.

These attorneys assure me that our transactions are 100% legal.My own love for people and underlying ethics are summed up in one of my favorite quotes "I will engage in no transaction that does not benefit all whom it affects" - Napoleon Hill, "The Laws of Success" 1929A good, honest wholesaler leaves every party to the transaction smiling.  

And was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. and Man those that bought in Vegas in 2010 to 2015 or so.. they just have to be smiling.  

Assuming you have good credit and a healthy down payment, you will find a bank who will work with you.Avoid paying all cash, because leverage is where you get power in real estate.I would suggest while you decide what to do with the money, place the funds in FDIC insured high yield savings accounts, so you can earn 1.9% with no risk.
