I watched an hour of one of his speeches from that conference last night.

The rents are decent but you’ll have to watch your debt closely to make sure it cash flows well.

I can tell you the last person I evicted was shocked, and was having to live with friends because no one would rent to them... not even a mobile home... and they had a family of 4 with a dog.  

I'm a wholesaler/flipper and it's been going well but I'm now trying to start grabbing prospects from the tax deliquent list that I grabbed from my county.

Last week the landlord mentioned he wanted to sell the townhouse but had another home available that my buddy could move into.

@Ty CouttsWe are reviewing that as well as arive.

Regarding whether to start with a mortgage broker or a realtor, I recommend connecting with a local realtor who knows the Venice Market well and can help you identify properties that meet your criteria.

2) Re the flip, Do you have any experience in construction, or dealing with contractors, as well as your local building department?  

Say that enough times and someone will ask "Well how much would you need?"

This includes blog posts on websites as well.
