For the amount of people living in the unit/house/etc. you should check with the city/state/local laws for this since that will be your backing to say yes or no.

Always check a city’s rent-control laws before investing.

If unincorporated county, then county rules apply.State law overlay: The state of Florida sets some baseline requirements (e.g., tax collection) but local governments control zoning, permitting, occupancy, etc. 

Next steps: get pre-approved, set firm investment criteria (price, cash flow, cap rate, neighborhood deal-breakers), build a local team (agent, inspector, property manager, contractor), run real rent comps and conservative rehab budgets, start touring deals (or have your agent/video tour), and practice underwriting 5–10 deals so you can pull the trigger quickly; aim to buy the first one once your numbers, reserves, and team line up.

Understanding the local laws, redemption periods, and title issues is key.

THEN I had an attorney review it to make sure it complied with all federaql, state and local statutes.

Regardless of the service you choose, remember to always follow these steps to stay compliant with the law:     - Obtain written consent: You must get a prospective tenant's written permission before running a credit or background check

My companies are constantly battling the city and counties to get them to simply follow the law. 

Many local investors come to me thinking they do not have enough to invest in NJ. 

If investing locally isn’t an option and you are looking for other cities to invest in, you might want to consider Columbus, Ohio.
