Try and find properties that look neglected, and do some classic driving for dollars !

Years ago in Cincinnati, near UC, they played loud classical music to get people off the streets.

Looks like a classic example of bad area with a bad PM.I could fix your issue for a lot less then you figure, if I see it all.PM’s are a dime a dozen now, many are just leeches taking and not giving.Long distance is lots of risk, lots of BIG fish on here do it, I am sure make good returns.I am in a booming burb of a large city I have no need to leave it.

one classic loan to own in reverse is the owner of a property taking out their own second loan then selling it to an investor then ripping the rent money not paying on the mortgages and walking away.. 

The cloud based brokerage is going to blow up the classical brokerage system because of the cost of doing business. 

Of course, in cities like Birmingham, Memphis, Little Rock, even Texas cities this is possible, but not the classical appreciating markets.

But if its all true this is a classic ponzi and a classic case of investors who did not take the proper steps when doing a real estate backed loan. 

Look at rare books, or classic cars, coin collecting, baseball cards, or even stamps.

At the same time I was carrying a Swiss Army Classic on my keychain.

They take the classic wholesale approach (cash, fast) to higher price points and offer instant cash offers to residential homeowners at any price point.
