No sense in paying off any properties at this stage given those golden interest rates you just mentioned. 

Not to mention there are some pretty rough areas in Allentown.  

It isn't a for sure thing many times.When you say has full insurance, do you mean a home owners policy?

Everything you mentioned could play a part, but most of it will be specific to your situation on the why.

I also looked into local clubs in the area and there’s a couple - the REIA, as you mentioned, and then a pretty active club comprised of female investors. 

As mentioned FB is a good resources.

The price seems slightly high given the pre rehab comp you mentioned.

I reached out to them to inquire and their response mentioned I'll need an attorney who is well-versed with foreclosures and receiver’s liens. 

As mentioned in the original comment, I believe many of these properties will shift back to long-term rentals or single-family homes.In North Georgia, where I’m located, we’ve seen significant changes in our two most popular STR markets—Fannin (Blue Ridge) and Gilmer (Ellijay) counties—with nearly 1,000 active listings, a 42% increase from 2023.

As Trent mentioned above, the only way I'm taking a chance with a new co host without experience is if they are grinding their way through cold calls and earn my respect.
