That makes sense from a buyer and renters perspective.

I also work with a team that helps cash buyers execute the BRRRR strategy or build rental portfolios, making it as seamless as possible for out-of-state investors.Best of luck, and let me know if you have any specific questions!

I think it would give it a little bump in value but it all depends on the buyer.

It is slowly rotting and needs significant repairs to get it prepared to sell to a typical home buyer for a primary residence.

I called some collection agencies and they basically admitted that for the amount of the judgement, they aren't willing to do much more than call and harass him for a while.   

I don't immediately see any reason that their basic home value and rent indexes should be considered fundamentally flawed based on that connection.

The problem I ran into was that most buyers that wanted to do it, couldn't bridge the equity gap and the sellers needed the equity to go buy the next one.   

I am basically looking for a cashflow property in the Lehigh Valley or anywhere else, but I would love to visit the property as I am staying in the NJ/NY region.

We also have a different ESCROW account that holds the deposits for buyers purchasing our listed properties. 

I signed up for the paid version of Stessa through biggerpockets only to encounter flaws in their software, connection issues that have been ongoing for 10+ months, and basic feature missing that leave me dumbfounded.
