Being able to produce them is a great selling point to support your asking priice. 

My appetite for REI is driven by the below mentioned traits that produce hefty rewards:LeverageCash flowAppreciation (forced, inflation and demand)Tax benefitsEquity building

Then buy an income producing property.

Once you are somewhat  or in complete agreement start learning more in earnest about where and what properties would produce good results and be honest with yourselves, learn to look at it as a business.

I need to get them out, what is the procedures, and timeframes?"

Hi @Andy Sturm, HUD has this crazy bid opening procedure.

A professional PM also knows the landlord/tenant laws in FL, they have screening criteria and know fair housing practices, they have proper leases, know how often to get pest maintenance, have repair/contractor contacts and procedures for tenants to submit requests.Personally I self-manage and I am not a PM promoter.  

Foreclosures can produce good deals as well.

I am now looking to begin buying other buy & hold properties to produce cash flow in the Montgomery, AL area.  

that being said, you arent card should have your unique selling point on it  Are you the big money producer?
