I need to invest in marketing with wholesaling while I know can also make a profit of about $50-$150K in a single flip.

There are beginning to be a fair amount of properties that have been on the market for quite a while.  

Holdover tenancy is addressed by a significant rate increase for every day (I use 150% of market rent as that seems to be a reasonable enough number that a court would allow + costs associated with their refusal to leave) and I have wording that if I can't turn over the unit for any reason outside my control, I'm not liable. 

I am open to most markets in metro atl but do not want to go too far north or south.

But my thinking is trying to find a good agent who might find some off-market deals who are willing to work with me unless it’s seriously not worth the effort.FHA vs.

Hey Account Closed - Which market are you? 

The other market I'm interested in is Dayton, Ohio.

An experienced property manager should also be able to help you net more money and will handle the marketing, leasing and background checks.

I am very familiar with the Fort Lauderdale market and surrounding areas. 

You should schedule a call with all 4 and learn what they specialize in, the markets and how they operate.
