If you're focusing on rural properties, sometimes local community banks or credit unions are open to these types of deals.

I also don't want to focus on one market, and not be able to score the right property for who knows how long, and then end up missing out on other locations, as being a long distance land lord is very popular as well.

I'm curious what more experienced investors will leave to finish repairing after they list the property, but before they start to show it (or lease it).It depends on the type of repairs, but generally, anything cosmetic or minor can wait until after listing.

With this type of market your investment will get in the way of obvious appreciation.
