In general, I think they want bodies.

Traps are so cheap... don't make them "handle" the little bodies. 

Advertise TODAY and make sure you advertise BELOW market rent,...just get some bodies in there ASAP.

Do focus on making a fat list of properties, make a list of the UGLIEST houses on the block.

John,I am new here at BP but pass through Concord all the time traveling from Hillsboro to Portsmouth almost Daily.Would love to meet up and chew the fat if you are interested.Let me know.Stephen

I get it, "well if you have it you use it" or "well no body is going to hand you money" but, there's thousands of books out there on how or why you should use others money to gain freedom and profit, which quite a few of them are books produced by bigger pockets. 

@Jamison HaussmanOK, so here's what I know about the market in Honolulu...a big fat nothing.I suspect that's sadly among the more insightful responses you're likely to get in this thread.

At my age, my physical body is becoming more limited.

But the hardest thing to do is sell to an end buyer/occupant, even at a fat discount, when there are still updates to be made -- hell, you are an RE agent, I don't need to tell you.So maybe find a local rehabber that has some crews he needs to put to work for 3-4 weeks and price it out. 

Sounds like a big fat mess!
