My opinion is a SFR in an established area will help you keep occupancy up and also gives the better opportunity to sell later.

But seriously, this is a pain point which is still persistent due to many factors.

Bad things like this are common.

I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.   

I’d rate this as a 3 out of 10 in terms of the best time to sell—it’s not the worst, but it’s not ideal either.Hope this helps!

Every deal has a challenge—whether it’s a seller with an unclear title, a property with zoning issues, or just finding the right buyer who actually sees the value.I’ve been navigating all of this while working on land and mobile home deals, and honestly, the problem-solving side of it is what keeps me hooked.

Also, any advice on how to screen tenants would be helpful.

I've been at this a while and have over 70% equity in my combined portfolio, and I'm over 50 years of age, so I don't look at creative financing options. 

Hi William, glad to have you as part of this community! 

This prevents the foreclosure from damaging their credit for years, but also does not return equity.The homeowner may consider selling the house on the MLS or FSBO.
