The basement is not a recreational area, any damage caused to the property mechanical operating systems (plumbing, heat, electric) caused by using the basement as a recreational area will be the financial responsiblity of the tenant. 

So I'm finding while I enjoy the research/etc, it's harder and harder to justify competing with others on the bidforassets platform.I feel like there is some significant potential for investors to reach out to owners and try to negotiate a deal (better price when all is said & done) vs if the property had gone to tax sale ....especially on some of the marginal properties (unbuildable, recreational, wetlands or critical areas challenges, and so on) that are too low in value to attract mainstream investors.

Plus, with so many recreational activities around here, there's always sure to be demand for vacation rentals and other services which can give you a steady stream of income.

There is plenty of sunshine, mountains, the lake and the riverwalk for recreation.

That means recreational sites for travel trailers and campers.

Would there be a market for recreational uses?
