You can start by going to www.narpm.org and search their directory of managers.

@Kathy CardonaI don't have any referrals in the space you're looking for but you can just punch in "YOUR CITY or AREA" plus "ATTORNEY" into the search window above and check out a few people's past endorsements to zero in on someone that fits your ticket.

A quick google search and phone call with my insurance agent revealed that this is a huge scam in Florida and it's legal.

As far as management goes, I would search BP forums and blogs for tips on managing a property as an absentee owner.Whether or not the HELOC is a good idea depends on a number of factors.

Good luck in your search!

Other than that IDK the area and good luck with your search. 

I'd be happy to set up an MLS search for you if you want to start seeing what we have coming available - feel free to message me for more info.

Hard money lenders many times will let you invest in their short term debt.. ( these are commercial purpose)One thing I get a lot of is direct mail.. its exactly the same method that real estate wholesalers use.they search public records.. get lists of private owners of notes.. ( usually the target is a seller carry back) and then they blast out direct mail offering to buy the note from the current note holder.. the pitch in 99% of those is all the same  same buzz words..

BiggerPockets is a great place for your search!

Good luck on your search!
