This is my second slow season and I’ve also taken most of your measures, although I’ve always allowed 1 night weekend stays to maximize bookings (I have a 1/1 walkable in Ohio City). 

We would do a safety check and enter the property.

I recommend you find a qualified intermediary who:Will not commingle your funds with other clients.Holds a Fidelity Bond with Errors and Omissions Insurance.Member of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators and Better Business Bureau.Wire Transfer Security measures to counter wire fraud.Have a great day!

His recommendation is a good temporary solution to see if more settling occurs then take measures.1.  

Using this to measure cash flow and a few other metrics seems to make most properties I run numbers for very good opportunities.

But, unemployment, as measured by the US Census is unlikely to explode.

To me the measure of success (10K calls vs $100K) is how many of those calls resulted in a sale? 

.- Build a Strong Buyers List EarlyA solid buyers list is your safety net.

Within minutes of uploading entire disclosure packet, it automatically detects various type of documents (home inspection, TDS, solar, roof, pest etc.) and creates an insightful report of safety risks, costly repairs.

There are a lot of different ways to deploy that $300K (or keep a larger chunk in cash for safety).
