You may also be able to find Unhappy landlords by calling the For Rent BY OWNER signs on houses that look a bit rough around the edges -when you see that, you are probably going to be looking at a person who is not meant to be landlording, and is probably up to his/her ears in deadbeat tenants! 

-Call them and ask to talk about their experiences in the area and what they rent their properties for and what utilities tenants usually pay.

The agent called me the night before, telling me basically the same thing.

If you stay in Palm beach area then go into the area called the "acreage"  good deals back in there and plenty of growth.  

@Anastasia Jordan, you can call the state, ask for Shelley Tice, and ask her for an estimated time frame until a quote.

Today I got a call from a man who has been out of work for a year, his credit score is now in the 400's, and he is 3 months late on his mortgage.

We all have different strengths and things to bring to the table (I've done wholesale/option deals/Licensed | Partner A: Mobile home investor/note investor | Partner B: Wholesaler/Licensed/ Small portfolio...) but....As of right now, things have slumped, and we have no idea what to do now or what the next step is We market by: 1,000 pieces of mail a week (Which BARELY converts to anything, we get more calls asking to get removed from the list than leads.), scrubbing the public records for notice of defaults (a list you have to manually do as our county doesn't have the records online), bandit signs (but 3 wholesale players have entered our market and take down every sign we put up), door knocking (Which takes up too much time).

Have a number in place where the potential sellers can call you such as google voice or ring central 

Hey @Beverly Broom give me a call if you're still looking for a realtor.  

I'd call it B to B+ because you are dealing with students, often young ones so close to campus, who can put some real wear and tear on your property.
