If, no is that because too many people are renting out already and if so is there a waiting list for renting.4.Are there any special assessments.

@Bryan Sowieja  well not a popular thought but its realistic.having owned a bunch of rentals in Mississippi we get some pretty large tenants in those areas.And special toilets are required along with reinforcing sub floor below.. and they can wreak havoc on plastic tub shower combos... can't comment on if you can exclude them. but if you rent to folks that you know are quite heavy no matter there physical type  IE professional athlete  power lifter.. cage fighter  WWF or whatever... you do have certain realities in the bathrooms that need to be addressedI have had more than one 400 lb plus tenant have the toilet give way on them during the act. 

That fast speed lasted about 1.5 years, while they were running specials.

Can anyone recommend a lender who specializes in these transactions?

Most deeds in this area are SPECIAL WARRRANTY which means that the grantor has not encumbered the deed/title. 

There are attorneys that specialize in quiet title for tax deed sales like Hicks/Knight from Tampa.They can get one done in around 60 days, then you wait for the appeal, and at the end of the wait period you have clear title.In my example, I sold to a neighbor who was buying the house for his daughter on a quit claim deed, fully disclosed, and he did the quiet title.

My wife is a local Realtor and seeks to specialize in foreign buyers, so if you need some local knowledge, please feel free to reach out to us.Regards,Gene

If there are a gazillion just like yours then perhaps it's not a very special property.

Research the RE brokers in your farm that specialize in MF and go to school on them.
