You might want to inquire about a new insurance provider. 

I noticed Amazon has 5 facilities in Davenport this should help provide renters with pretty solid employment.

As a option, instead of a commission structure, you can put them on a bonus plan and provide payouts based on a set of criteria. 

thank you to anyone who can provide assistance. 

If anyone from New York or Florida that regularly does real estate transactions between the two states could provide feedback, that would be appreciated.

The way most people do subject to deals is by setting up a system of checks and balances providing some protection for both buyer and seller, and trying to avoid alerting the lender that a deed transfer has taken place.

I am sure boots on the ground, you have more sense of the reality than what these websites say so thank you for providing context.

What is the average/normal financial incentive given to realtors that provide you leads of distressed sellers that are willing to sell RE at a discount?

@Carlyle Campbell, did the seller provide a seller's disclosure document?

Ideally before you purchase your realtor/lender will provide you with a property management company who is willing to provide resources, leases, and whatever you need to get house hacking.
