The first three rules of RE - location, location...Is there some undesirable situation near your property that is causing the issue?

The property needs some tlc which is why it's a good deal but the small things that need to be fixed have made it "undesirable" to the 2-3 carriers that are left in this area willing to write rental properties.

Ditto with the time and cost (possible evictions) of getting rid of undesirable tenants, not to mention the risk of additional unforeseen damages when unhappy tenants have to move out.Mom and pop owners are notorious for not counting expenses, not the least of which is their own labor and management.

A place where I see good money to be made is in houses that are undesirable because they are really weird but can be made unweird easily. 

Employers won't tolerate certain activities that are also undesirable in tenants so you would have additional assistance in getting a problem person out.

@Michael LoweMy family is against it because my uncle had a duplex in an undesirable part of town (even though he lived in it too).

Seems most foolproof solution, especially if you also want to clear, um, non-humid but undesirable air from the bathroom.Air King AKDT60 Delay Timer Switch Turns your fan and light on simultaneouslyAllows you to turn the light off while the fan continues to operate for an additional preset timeOperation time for the fan can be adjusted from 1 to 60-minutes

Even cash-flowing properties could be undesirable for a bank’s risk appetite for refinancing.

My first instinct would be to house hack, but we've already covered that this is an undesirable option for the individual.

It is very rare for a mortgage company to miss out on protecting their first lien position by redeeming the unpaid taxes.That's why the tax deed sales are usually a waste of everyone's time - the good stuff is almost always redeemed and by the end of the auction, only the tax deeds secured by undesirable properties are left standing.
