I can refer a couple of great PM's in Orlando if you want to get another opinion or two. 

The solution I give them is to narrow their focus on a specific market, study it, and get to know what a good deal looks like.

@Teri Feeney Styers the slow flip method that I think he is referring to is the one coined by Scott Jelinek which is buying a livable property using private money on a short term (typical 60 month--like a car) and immediately marking it up 2-4 times and selling it on a 30 year term using a land contract.

From my research, I feel PropStream offers superior data quality, but I’m also drawn to Flipster for its all-in-one solution.

You can’t stop folks from calling so best to figure out a solution on your end.

I have some solutions in mind but also want to see what the pros may have to say!!

Only thing better would be initial deposit and then paid in full upon Certificate of Occupancy and punchlist complete.Of course, standard items should also be checked: licensed, insured, willing and able to pull all required permits, reference checks.I would also commonly avoid the cheapest bid you get.  

It’s crucial to run the numbers and consult with a lender who can tailor solutions based on the specific investment goals.Best regards, Stevan 

The landlords solution is to make us all “owners” by creating a lease option to purchase contract. 

You can tell her I referred you if you like.
