@Nicole Vadnais Welcome.That's a fairly broad market you're covering, 100+ units in FL.

Quit breaking the law and get a job that pays "above the table" and pay your fair share of taxes. 

@Mark Gruetzmacher I usually offer what makes sense for me and I know for sure it is fair to the seller.

., the chances of the realtor and seller accepting an and/or assigns is probably fairly low, but you could certainly try it!    

@David KrulacI was looking at a comp in Altoona today which was an REO, with nice siding, replacement windows and a fair interior.  

Evidence is that people buy houses no mater what the interest rate and curiously the rate of buying (# of homes sold per capita) remains a fairly steady no mater the rate except during periods of rapid transition. 

FCRA is Fair Credit Reporting Act and meant to ensure you don't discriminate based on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or public assistance.  

You might look into commercial real estate syndications, but to be fair most of them DO use professional property management.

On top of that you should know exactly who is going to buy or rent it from you and all the terms of the deal.Real estate investment is not gambling.  

Therein lies the debate I suppose are 1% rule properties in CA "almost non-existent" or "fairly easy to find in a number of markets"?
