As far as can you get more rent from them, Bigger Pockets has some great state forums and usually there are good locals that monitor those.

Depending on where you plan on investing, 13k won’t get you very far as far as holding a flip.

As far as her she can associate with whomever she wants (drug dealers, gang bangers, mafia guys, snitches....)

I would definitely say you are on the right track, there is so much to learn(and for FREE) here that you can definitely find what you need.

So this time around I posted it on Apartments.com, which is great so far, but I'm having issues on some criteria as far as what I can deny an application for, per the list below:Credit score is at least 650, which is what I asked but they have a large amount of debt in comparison to their income.

@Simon Everett Simon as far as I am concern, recruiters would bring in the connections for you.

As far as consumer debt goes, I don't play with cars or cc' s or any of that. 

. This will be my first property so it would be nice to work in a solid buffer as far as cash flow goes to reduce the risk (or at least be compensated for the extra risk).

I was going to play it safe and stay local in my Tampa Bay market, which means the cash would be a down payment for a multi family property in my area since everything is so expensive (also rents aren’t amazing, 1% rule doesn’t apply in Tampa’s market).I am now tempted to try an out of state market where I can use that cash to buy a multi-family property outright and then cash out refi to buy another multi-family.

As far as the value, if you're buying on a commercial loan, they likely will lend on the rehab.
