I’ve never heard of them and I’m active in Tampa, Orlando and Ocala.  It’s a fairly common business model though

I have sold a couple over the years, like you we rehab homes.  Either there is not a demand for this niche or I couldn’t figure out to get in front of these tenants

The lakeland realtor association produces market statistics on their website.. it’s mls wide not just POLK co or lakeland.  Let me know if you need any help, we flip about 70 homes a year and are now doing a lot of new builds, in addition to rental portfolio..

If you are outgoing, self motivated and know how to hustle, then it might be a good fit for you.  If you like/need the structure of a 9 to 5 job, then it may not.  

I'd find someone in your local market and ask to shadow them for a day.  It is not as easy as its cracked up to be.  Takes a lot if hustle and drive especially in the beginning.

Good Luck

@Jimmy Green  I can help you with all those options.  Clearly, getting all the money upfront is best.  So you can attract a buyer and offer seller finance as a back up.  Obviously, if you bought it for your son and family to live in while he was in college, that would be the people I'd focus selling your condo to.

Message me for more information

Post: Cities with Below $50k Purchase Price for SFR

Under 50k in Sanford is going to be a war zone.  Here in Lakeland, you can get a lot on mobiles at that price, but you'd better have low expectations to buy a sfr for that price here now in the current market.
