You're either doing it yourself, spending a little money and hiring/managing someone else to do it, or you don't do it and let the leads rent from someone else.

And honestly it boils down to money , thats the bottom line .

@Kyle Trotman If you purchased with a hard money loan conventional lenders will require extensive seasoning to utilize the new appraised value for cash out. 

We have made money buying properety based on cash flow (lower priced) rented out for a period, then selling to an owner occupant. 

Quote from @Andy Sabisch: Will it help you sell more or get more money? 

And using the hard money for the second one.

Best I can tell all in all we about 3X cash on cash over 5 years.infil lots depending on lot we could double our money in 9 to 12 months cash on cash.. so on and so forth.

Now purchasing a home with cash is always good b/c obviously cash is king but also I think the part you might've missed is that, the money your utilizing on these home's won't actually be yours, but the banks or whatever institution you used to fix the home or make its value worth more.

The algorithm has no idea if the problem as a dysfunctional layout or just the fact that it is dated and nobody has spent the money to update the property.  

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path
