I need someone who's familiar with FL Statue 718, as well as someone who has experience in managing properties of this/similar size, is versed in contract negotiation with vendors/service providers, & is a more hand-on individual.For context, the condo already has a property management company.

Some of the others are sit-down PowerPoints that don't provide much value Also, go to BiggerPockets -> Build Your Team -> Local Meetups, and there are many great meetups there!

Could a Buyer agent also assist in providing lawyer to provide asset-protection?

Once and if you get a judgment, you will still have to perfect it by collecting on it.Based on the information you provided about the contractor’s financial condition, collection seems unlikely.Sometimes it is best to take a loss and gain by the lessons it brings.

We met all non-passive requirements and can provide proof to show that our projected annual materially-active involvement is at least 500 for 2023.We met with our CPA and he brought to our attention that we had a loss of -$107k.

You learn more from people when you provide them value. 

We also need to communicate with our property management clients and service providers to schedule cleaners and handymen. 

I too agree that many markets in the midwest have provided a lower barrier to entry given the higher prices inside of the metropolitan areas.

You are better off buying with a bridge loan, since you will not have a PPPAlthough you could opt for a DSCR with no PPP, the rate will be similar to a bridge and/or the fees may be higher with a reduced PPP.

@Jeremy Galloway may be able to provide some insight.
