You also don't have the financing to buy it as a non owner occupant, you don't have the money for the renovations, a buyer is highly unlikely to commit before they see the finished product, and their financing may fall through.

I've been following some of the discussions on the forums and I'm impressed with the engagement and productive discussions that have been.  

Remember, a realtor makes their money from a commission that is based on a percentage of the sale price of the property, so it is in their best interest to sell their product for as much as possible, and in Miami they are able to do this.That said, there are deals to be found.

Look for a premium product.

They can't stop you from investing in RE, and I suppose they could fire you, but as long as you are good at your job and REI isn't eating into your productivity at work, I can't imagine an emoloyer having negative consequences from RE investing.

Particularly for entry and mid-level rental product.

Ranson, WV MFH@Krystal Grubbs0% Down:NACA (https://www.naca.com)VA Loan (http://benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/index.asp)Rural Development Loans (Renovations MAY be included)(http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/HSF-About_Guaranteed_Loans.html)I have no clue about your veteran status, but the other two loans are great products.  

The rental market is like any other market, and you have to offer a good product at a good price to compete.

Very large groups or ones that seems to push a product aren't exactly what I'm looking for and it seems that most meetups are usually pushing a product for the most part.
