Try networking locally with HML's who know the market. 

Thank you,Phil Don’t have any experience with the mentioned mentors, but I do have 45 years experience in commercial real estate investing.Flipping (wholesaling) commercial properties require the same base of knowledge (real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance) that is a foundational requirement for flipping residential properties; PLUS, extensive knowledge of the commercial property TYPE one is trying to engage with, and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market for the subject property type. 

I have been very successful in helping clients acquire Airbnb homes and creating themes and uniqueness for their homes to be more appealing and marketable.

I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself.

Their goal or business model MIGHT be: you give them the house free, sign a contract, and they have 6mo or a year or something to market it and see if they find a buyer.

"Develop" it as a place for the folks from the city to bring their rv. this is one of the easiest ways to transform 'junk' land/wetland/'too small to build'-- into something of value, just by (marketing) -finding the right buyer who looks at it differently. 

You can arguably make it work in any market.

Just be sure to account for the upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and market demand to make sure the numbers work for you.Good luck with your decision, and feel free to share updates as you move forward!

From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action.
