For example if I wanted to run an ad looking for potential sellers would I run into any legal trouble without a license? I've heard, in Florida at least, you need a license to wholesale.

Thanks I'll check it out!

Do you think a new investor should become their own real estate agent? I'm reading The Book on Flipping Houses and he gives some good points as to why you should so I was just wondering on what other people's thoughts were.

I'm in the Oviedo area as well and I'd be interested in attending, let me know if anything happens!

What questions do you ask the agent or owner when inquiring about a property? What numbers do you need to know?

Asking from a rental or flipping perspective.

What area are you investing in?

Do you look for a certain percent return or a flat amount?

What is your main source of leads?

How much do usually budget to spend for rehab?

What type of houses/buildings are you focusing on?

And as the title says, what are your criteria?

Sorry for all the questions!

Hey Treymane I did some research and I think this thread might be useful to you: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/21...

From what I've read in it, you can download the deliquent property list here: http://www.octaxcol.com/tax-roll-download/

It's labeled as "Daily Delinquent Real Estate Update File Zipped".

Hope this helps.

Hi my name is Lukas and I'm new to everything real estate. I've always been interested in it as a way to create passive income through rental properties and I'm just now starting to take it seriously. I'm a Computer Science major at UCF and I'm trying to think of creative ways to get a head start on my real estate journey. I found bigger pockets through Youtube and now listen to the podcast on Spotify. I've read the UBG and I'm half way through The Book on Investing with No Money Down. As things stand I will be leasing out an apartment at one of the local student housing complexes but I think that it would be smarter to house hack since I'll be here for at least another two years. Ideally I would like to find a house within a few miles of the campus that needs some small improvements. A few questions for others more experienced than I: What criteria do you look for when trying to find a SFH to rent out? I know the 2% rule is popular but from what I've found online it doesn't seem like that is a reasonable goal. Also, what other things should I look for considering that I'd like to continue renting out my room once I graduate and move elsewhere?
