Real estate benefits from so many tax benefits, you are sort of killing the juice. 

So to juice the rents as best we could, we furnished it and started renting it as a medium-term rental to traveling nurse types. 

@Gurjot GrewalI would look at a comparable property that doesn't have foundational issues and based off the discount, figure out is the juice worth the squeeze?  

You'll come across a few good ones, but if you are only looking for optimal deals you're going to go belly up. 

Washed walls twice with water and lemon juice mixture2.

Very helpful stuff and my creative juices are definitely flowing.

I am drinking the juice at this point, and plan on making this my method of investing. 

Thus getting a little extra juice from the out of state play. 

I could learn how to do, but is the juice worth the squeeze? 

I would do nothing and go about my business, as long as the interest rate of the flagged loan was not way below the current rates that are available.3) At some point, when/if the interest rates got high enough, I would direct a small amount of resources to identify the flagged loans where the juice would be worth the squeeze.
