Would also like recommendations on a property management company, and Inspector.ThanksGrace

Can anyone suggest property management companies and your level of experience with these companies?

Do I start a property management company (LLC) and have the rent and security deposit held in a business account under PM LLC?

I run a company called Amorite Real Estate.

I came across this short term financing company that caters to residential flippers.

In my area, we have a great Property Management company that will handle evictions for a fee.  

For a limited time, my company ExecuDesk Virtual Assistant Services is offering a 2 hour free trial of our services to interested real estate professionals.

Sometimes the gas company will come out and look at this, worth a call.

Capital gains will not occur if you rent the property only sell it.As far as the loan through your company paying off the debt that you are in at 4.5%, that would just be moving the debt from one area to another, so technically you would still be in debt, but at a lower interest rate. 

You want to embark into real estate in Fort Lauderdale, as you well put it: “I'd like to get as much education as possible on the industry, and don't mind taking classes to educate myself.”There are many people in Florida that are involved in this industry, but I advice you to be careful 'who' or what 'company' is going to be your mentor since the 'thinking' and ideas in this industry varies as do the participants.
