I have been looking for deals in Penasacola, FL as well as Panama City, Florida just because those locations are close to where I will be living next and I would like to do some driving and investigating in different neighborhoods to get a better understanding of what I would like to buy.

I use a private investigator software.

Back when I was working with adjusters, a typical investigation was $380.00.

IMO, You will need to do a good background investigation (work history) of the buyer.  

I really thought that and most people that was using a free email, I was doing a lot of investigation to find out if they was fraud or not.

@Ro'Maine PryorYou are very close to Memphis so it will not be hard for you to do your investigation/due diligence of each turnkey company before you decide to do any business with them.

There are good deals but seems like you have to really investigate them.  

I recently read an article in a local REI magazine in Pennsylvania written by an attorney who is representing a few wholesellers who are being investigated by the Real Estate Commission for acting as unlicensed real estate agents.The article reads that it is not yet illegal to assign a contract in PA but if you try to make a business out of this then your assignment contract is misrepresents your intentions to the seller.  

It is not easy and I have 4 people working on the investigations prior to the sale.

I investigated one such property and was about to place an binding bid upon it, and was glad that I first went to the building inspector.
