I've been hearing alot about the market in Florida.

Homeowner's and flood insurance can be considerably lower than in other coastal areas, especially in comparison to States with prohibitive property insurance markets such as Florida.

This is very desirable since you can comfortably live with a girlfriend/dog/whatever, and not lose comfort.Buying a SFH, building rooms, renting every room and sharing your room will almost certainly cashflow in most markets (outside of VHCOL cities).

Second, if the above were true no loans would ever get sold in the secondary market. . . .    

There are a lot of services online that will do it for $10-$40. 

My worry is that the property might fall into probate or tax auction once he passes and someone who knows someone will get the deal under contract before it reaches public offering.There is a real estate agent in the area that gets about 85% of all the listings in the micro-market, so she is farming these properties constantly. 

The market for buyers on QCD is going to be smaller so you are limiting your market with a QCD but we buy/sell homes all the time via QCD just need to find the right parties.  

I know that California markets are so challenging to invest in for cash flow (which is what I am looking for as a new investor).

How fast or slow that is depends on your market and price. 

Hey everyone, looking to network a bit in the PA market, mainly interested in small multi family in the York area.
