You can call utility company and get the yearly average. 

At this point, I plan to look for an individual lender rather than a company--someone local who makes his/her own rules and not a company.

Especially in Florida when every year (almost) they suffer this kind of threats.As a flipper its very hard to find insurance company that will be ready to cover your house.As a home owner for rental: How much will the insurance company will cover in case of total disaster like this?

I've dealt with some of the companies doing owner occupied projects, but I don't think they're the right fit for knocking out a rehab/rent property.  

I don’t have experience with bidding on land but I won a house at auction and did a lien search through a title company and it cost me 150$ but it to me it was worth 150$ then to be surprised with an outstanding lien.

I figure that a few flippers and investors have ran across this before and may know someone (or a company) that could do the job well.I appreciate your help!

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I've called the major companies (Remax, etc) and everyone is marketing to those wanting ready-to-move in places.

Does anyone have any good recommendations in the Madison (primary) and Rankin (secondary) county areas for real estate agents (that have worked with real estate investors), property management companies, and contractors / handymen?

Vendors can do it because we spread the costs among thousands of customers.
