I want to know where the best markets are at the moment and is it possible for me to acquire one while only sitting on $15k.

If you're going after fix and flips then you'll need real estate-flip loans which are short term and high interest - in which case they care more about the property/deal than how leveraged you are (but they do still care, along with how much cash you're bringing into the deal) 3 - Similar question, same answers above. 4 - Yes... sitting on the market for 4 months is weird UNLESS that's the norm in the area.

I can think of one particular listing that has been sitting forever.

I have a unique opportunity to take a family owned property that normally just sits and turn it into an STR.  

People like to visualize themselves sitting out by the water. 

Not a new house either but sitting on larger lot in Canton about 10 minutes from Woodstock.I have lived in GA all my life and have never seen anything like it for the growth.

If I had been prepared I could have walked away with a steal.So I sit there today for over an hour while property after property slides by with no interest.

Otherwise they will continue to pay yearly taxes and maintenance costs, and not be able to foreclose the property as it will sit here leaking and falling apart and the mold continuing to spread.

We also like to sit down with the current manager and go through everything related to how they are running the park (collecting rent, problem tenants, sales of homes, marketing efforts, recurring maintenance items, problem areas in the park infrastructure, etc)Compliance - this includes everything related to city, county, and state compliance to continue to run the property as a park.

Secondly, they may sit on the market longer to find a suitable tenant.
