If you decide that trying to get a loan from a traditional financing institution proves to be too cumbersome, if the assets are in FL, I can help I believe. 

But I also have the redfin app to look at properties on the fly.

Houses are flying up for sale all over because of the foreclosure rate!

So I own several cabins on rivers - fly fishing/floating/swimming deals. 

I'd be flying to Texas and start kicking down doors (politely of course)

Take into account seasonality, current competition, states not likely to implement restrictions as much, locations that will continue to do well post Covid (some are doing well since local travel has gone up vs flying), etc.

How is what Airbnb doing any different from airlines not allowing known terrorists to fly on their planes?

The lawyer advised if I will be collecting rents in FL I will also need to set it up with the state as a foreign company.

This isn't a good thing...we're 80,000 affordable housing units short of demand in my city and yours too, but we can build flying cars...and what would life be without ikea and top golf...what a society we live in...

It's sort of like asking if it's "better" to drive or fly to your destination.
