@Linh Luong I did not end up purchasing the house because the church the former owner left it to does not want to sell.  I am keeping at them as they are maintaining the house without using it much.

@Account Closed Thanks for the reply.  It's amazing how much I've learned on this topic in a short year.  I now use land trusts myself.  :)

@Jeffrey Silva welcome to BP and RE!! From time to time I get leads in your area and frostproof but don't have many buyers.  I'd love to work together when you have some serious buyers down there. Make the weekend great!

All County Polk is worth checking out. I haven't used them but Tim Davis, the owner, is a big supporter of the local REIA and has helped me when I was in need.

@Celso Balan Lakeland is a great market in my opinion.  I focus mainly in the area.  My main focus is rentals but I do all types of RE.  If you do not know the area please do your research before buying because there are war zones!  Feel free to use me as a reference.

@Robert Gibbons welcome to BP!  There are many ways to learn here.  I like the podcasts and forms, but find what works best for you and learn learn learn.

I have a low sloping roof that has roll on.  It's in decent condition, is there anything I can do to prolong the life?  I don't have insurance inspections.
