Joe its all about NPV  and rate of return for investors.. either way your going to take a pretty big hair cut out of your equity to do what your wondering about. 

The auctions are just as dry as the MLS and wholesaler deals. 

Your property is fairly destruction proof, costs near nothing to maintain, yet you can charge above market rents.If your property is nicer (class B) where the carpet alone might be $6k or more to replace when the tenant spills hair dye everywhere, you won't be as happy as in the situation above.  

Dry and hot.

MLS seems pretty dry, especially where im operating.Thanks in advance.

I told him to pull out everything that might have gotten wet, get everything dry (to prevent mold), and make sure it was done right. 

We used to buy a lot of foreclosures back in the day but that source has long dried up.

Oddly, Vrbo bookings nearly dried up and I get a steady stream of Airbnb leads despite the higher rate I set there.Unfortunately, by giving Vrbo a three-month exclusive head start, I missed revenue that could have been earned by listing on multiple OTAs from the onset.

It may be out of state, so you will have to determine if that is something you are willing to explore.It isn't always cut and dry as some suggest. 

Starting all over from scratch... my gray hair is turning back black....LOL.
