I'm also in the same boat as Sara N., however when I first started out I had a tenant that I would "drop by" to pick up rent each month mainly because I had converted my personal residence to a rental and wanted to keep an eye on it.I've gone through a wide range of ways to collect rent, and I have to say going to a property to personally collect has got to be the worst way to do it.  

If they do this in a broad based base-line consumer action, it's done folks, D-O-N-E. 

Same for 611 N Dixie Ave, Fruitland Park.c.

i have spoken with multiple Hard Money lenders recommended by BP and all of them suggest i do a JV with a local investor in my area, i dont know any investor in my area. i only have about 10k and i really want to be able to get the fundings needed to do my first flip.I live in South Florida I wrote a post entitled "How to Do a Fix n Flip With No Cash Out" here on BP.

I made a pretty nice living buying and selling rural acreages in Northern CA... and one thing I see on the blog sites is yes it can be darn tough to find parcels.. and especially in N ca with all the pot growers it can be dangerous to boot.But in Flordia you have unlimited raw land or lots to go after.. just need to figure out if your going to pay cash then finance. them...
