@Conrad Kostrzewa - I have had plenty of clients buy in Chicago and move away. 

Last I checked he wasn’t taking new clients but that may have changed as that was a while ago.

*None of this post creates an attorney-client relationship or CPA-client relationship. 

I looked at a 2 fam property for a client and the price difference in insurance was absurd compared to the additional rent, not to mention pool up keep.

The author's tone makes him out as a royal jerk (particularly in a few passages where he talks about his impressions of women in San Francisco), but his perspective on life at FB is certainly unique.

i suggest go to a branch, ask to be seen by a private client or branch manager. show them ur wells statement and ask what they can offer.

Most of these homes are very poor locations and very poor condition.You need to hire someone to go out, access the property (drill out locks, install new locks, and install lock box with keys,) clear the property (many of these properties have squatters living in them,) secure the property (lock windows, fix broken/unsecured points of entry,) evaluate the home, build a rehab budget, and send over pictures and/or video.There are several GC's and home inspectors who are offering these services for the MI/OP clients.

I personally prefer Fort Lauderdale and feel clients would probably treat the property better, as Miami has more of a party vibe in regards to tourism.

I have several investor clients who are also realtors that would be glad to help. 

I have a lender, Ray Putt with Access Capital Mortgage, who I've known personally for over two decades, did our loan for our home (and everyone else in my family) and now has done several for my clients as well (he can do loans nationwide).
