@Mike Dricken , a lot of time the landlord will have the Lower unit do the lawn care for a "discounted" rent. 

I have been offered other investor's liens for full face value and even a slight discount if there was more than a year in the redemption period.

We purchase SFR's using cash at a discount and then we finance them to potential buyers so that their payments are at or below local market rental rates.

Take a deep breath and honestly THINK do I want to own a house if FLA just to have someone else do the management..

How deep are your pockets?

I'm doing a very deep research on how to invest in rehab properties and would like to network with other investors and get more information.

Availabledumpster.com or a10yarddumpster.com for small stuff chris is the owner 502552-9126 he has a progressive discount model so let him know I sent you. :)

I have done very well, but it's been by buying at a discount, being very conservative with repairs, accounting for cap ex, getting repairs done cheaper than the other guys (I own, for example, a commercial snake, line locator, camera, etc.), rehabbing with an understanding of durability, and, if I'm being completely honest, quite a bit of luck due to an appreciating market.

@Mahonri Bussey find a real estate agent to handle the rest of the process at a discounted rate

We talk about FHA+MFR for countless hours each year, but I can count on one hand the number of these I actually do in that same given year in SoCal / Bay Area (eg, excluding rural California).And for that handful, it's typically a slightly different formula:[ FHA + Off Market + Discounted Price + 2-4 unit = win ]Ain't nothing I can do as a mortgage guy to make FHA not FHA except give you pragmatic advice.
