I am leaning towards keeping them, like you hinted at albeit sending notice to bring them into compliance with an updated lease by a certain date.

I was looking into all of these strategies,  but I'm leaning towards airbnb and tax liens

With that said, you have to have at least some track record to lean upon. 

Do you lean towards traditional mortgages, private lenders, or creative financing options?

We are probably around average I would say as far as risk tolerance (leaning more toward more conservative if anything).

Some were wholesalers that we've been in contact with before they started using Investor Lift, some are outfits that we found through browsing the available properties on the platform.I've thought about joining as well as we'll wholesale deals that don't meet our investment criteria from time to time... as an agent though I lean towards buying personally, assigning directly to a client, or listing more frequently than wholesaling, so I'm just not doing enough wholesaling volume to justify the $479/mo price tag.

But you gotta be on the ground.Great on paper and some years you might get 15% returns and next year -15% returns.Plus, there is no true value in such areas as homes sell for $1,000 and others to unsuspecting out of state buyers for $60,000 where the provider makes a $20,000+ margin.Then it goes vacant, vandalized and back to a $1,000 houseLooks for areas with a more consistent sales value where homeowners also live and not just investor owned.B class in my eyes is:1) Close to infrastructure like schools, hospitals, shopping mall, larger employer, etc...2) Mix of homeowners and investor owned (leaning toward more homeowners).3) Well kept yards and no boarded up homes.

Agents will have inspectors they know/have worked with in the past as well if you need recommendations and have a network they can lean on if you need more specific inspections (e.g., sewer line, septic, pest, mold, etc.).  

Whoops I didn’t read the body sorry edit 

Right now I am leaning toward not replacing it since it is not broken & I have two non-bias parties saying it is fine.
