Lincoln was a punching bag in papers all his life.

I've been an seeing an influx of foreign all-cash investors so cat is definitely out of the bag. 

I have unsweet tea for a drink.

Steer clear of sub$50k props, ESPECIALLY IF TURNKEY, because there just simply isn't enough meat on that deal for everyone to get paid, which means someone has cut corners somewhere and he'll end up holding the bag.

Not my cup of tea, but Boston has a lot of great things going for it that in the long run I think you could make it work.If by multi-family though you mean a 5+ building that you're presumably going to look for in the Midwest or South...it's in its own bubble as a disturbingly large number of people who made bank in the last 10 years of the up market are shifting their focus to a larger scale asset and are purchasing these distressed properties which is driving cap rates down because people need a place just to park their cash. 

Sounds like they just left you holding the bag on this one. 

Some digging, gravel, and bags of asphalt would probably be fine.

I've even supplied large thick (3 mil) contractor bags and moving boxes/tape.

Then they started unfolding this great big heavy duty plastic bag. 

You can't throw it in dumpster unfortunately.You can bag it up to make it easier to carry outside.The constable has to stay there until house is emtied out so you need to have a crew their to carry out the stuff.Then everyone will come pick through it and make a mess.Then you have to haul off the junk and clean up all the debris.
