Tell us more specifics & we may be able to help more.  You might even entice us to rent it from you!  By the way, where is it located?

Since no one has chimed in you 1st need to fine out if they are allowed in the area you want and then your best source of info is your competition.  Check them out on the large listing sites, look at their fees & calendar.

Sherriff sales would actually be at the very end of a foreclosure, not a pre- foreclosure.

Attend those auctions & talk to the bidders.  Perhaps you'll run across some landlords looking to buy those fixed up homes & they may have need of your services in other properties.

Also, consider that old gem, do you want a quick nickel or a slow dime?

Thanks @Mindy Jensen,

I do plan to list with VRBO since it has the most listings in our area and have studied the competition and have done my homework.  Also, I plan to have a website that uses SEO and probably blog on it about all the activities available because we draw from a large area for vacationers.  I already reached out on a kayaking website with a response already to let them know when I am up and running!  Anybody have specific advice for snowmobilers, skiers, kayakers/canoers, Musky hunters/fisherman?

Take a DEEP breath, and let it & her go.  Not worth your mental and emotional time.

My electrician who was replacing knob & tube wiring last year on a project, informed me of the same problem, not ignorable here up north!  Mine was a 2 story, about 1400sf.  In an effort to save $ (time for my contractor not setting up & moving scaffolding), he popped some siding off on 1st floor, drilled holes, blew in insulation & for 2nd story, since we were going to paint anyways, drilled holes inside & blew insulation all for $5000.  Not a pleasant surprise but still did well with the deal.  Looks like you've decided but thought I'd post anyways, may help others.  I'd get a couple estimates from those who specialize in insulating.
