Did you buy the property to hold for productive use as your normal pattern and something changed that intent?  

Once I found a close out on marble tiles and put them in a bathroom.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but to piggy-back off of @Russell Brazil, one of the places off Gude in Rockville called ABKA Granite & Marble did a fantastic job with the granite installation when we renovated my wife's townhouse to get it ready for sale. 

I wanted to share with everyone my Rental listing method and Syndication patterns.

With regular listed REO there is a strategy involved with selecting the property, making a strong offer, recognizing marketing patterns.

Also, when you take the mock exam you'll start to notice a pattern within the answers- I found those to help when I was stuck on questions.  

I hate to give a ham-handed answer, but the only pattern I can find for those with >$1m in equity in my database is that they purchased as soon as they could and rode out / ignored the rollercoasters. 

But I am confident the patterns are similar all over the country.  

They leave a distinctive pattern. 

@Bill Gulley It fascinates me that anyone would bring their own personal family's personal estate matter to a public forum with so many unvetted opinions on such a state specific and unique fact pattern scenario.
