Competition is brutal in Orlando and the auctions are online with an option to set a max price and have aut bids done on them.

You are right about the screening though, I did do an online screening that looked good but didn't call her boss to confirm annual salary and there was no old landlord info as she lived with a friend who had gone on business.  

Some are claiming the Landlord can also be involved in that process but that's not what the law says because the Landlord has hired the Manager as the agent and the Manager (or his office) is now considered the "end user" responsible for the information.Besides, it's just bad practice for a Landlord to be involved in the screening process but that's for another conversation.

Any practical tips either way would certainly be appreciated.Thank you!

An end to end solution that handles your online rental application to tenant screening is useful here.

I'd suggest finding a brand new, completely inexperienced, wet behind the ears agent, that could use the practice anyways, hasn't been hardened by a lot of rejection yet, and has nothing better to do. 

That wouldn’t be best practices.

Most deals I get never make it to Zillow, most don't stay on market more than ~48 hours. practice analyzing deals, know what you want, and when you find the right one: shoot to kill.

I practice real estate in Bakersfield and most of my clients are investors. 

I had done a simple search online about how to get into fix and flip with little to no money down and the first thing that popped up was a thread on the BP forums.
