I'm not sure where to start, but I'm hoping that I might be able to shadow an investor to teach me the in's and out's of the whole buying and renting process, so I can get a feel for what to expect and develop some prior experience.

Hi Daniel, as a Miami-based Realtor who works with investors on new/pre-construction purchases, as far as location is concerned, I agree with your choices of Miami Beach and Downtown Miami.  

The house is located in CT. 

If, however, that means you own more real estate in locations that you like, you get the magic of leverage + appreciation that results in a better long term return. 

No work was done to the properties and in most cases none were even rented out .

Hello, I recently located a new construction property that was built using helical piers from the start.

I will do what I can to find out the location of the Investors McDonald's.

Since a young boy I have been fascinated by the idea of buying, selling, renting, and investing in dirt and the buildings that stand on it. 

I have contacted the clerks office in each of these respective locations and they only publish documentation when a formal foreclosure has been set and the auction date is posted.
