Upsides of Absentee Owned Properties with 50% Equity

[Dennis M. Williams]

Hello fellow BiggerPocketeers, 

Lame I know but serious question. I purchased a lead source of properties of absentee owned homes with 50% or more equity in them. I'm starting out and I probably should have done a little more research, but with this list, what are some possible upsides to having such leads? I heard from a podcast that this may be good for investors that dabble in wholesaling. Could someone suggest others ways I can get started?
