Looking for a pre-MLS or off-market deal you drum up yourself may be a better strategy for you.

One thing this crew did was bring in a backhoe, dig a large hole and put 55 gallon drums of car oil, transmissions and engines into the hole and covered. 

Drum roll please....What is your cashflow big guy!  

If I were you, I would take off work for a week, go down there to clean and paint with anyone you manage to drum up from Craigslist for $15/hr, then sell as-is.

This gives me a window to clean up on and a little time to drum up some interest to make it easier to cluster showings together.  

I appreciate the advice.How's Fort Drum this time of year?

@Jonathan Bouren I suggest you first find a multifamily and run the numbers and then drum up interest.Also, I would challenge you to consider working with someone that has a track record of producing profitable, consistent investments instead of an agent that can work miracles. -- just a thought 

Eric drum.

This is what is so great about RE  there are so many ways to do it    Finally, I dont think it is helpful to always be banging the “dont over pay” drum - this just scares off folks who could benefit at least, by the experience of being in the game.....

I was stationed at Ft Drum for two years where they dumped salt like it was going out of style.
