An algorithm will probably tell you that undesirable property is an amazing "value add" opportunity. 

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.

I think a lot of folks are sitting on or building up cash reserves as rates have squeezed a lot of the potential cash flow opportunities of years past. 

Sales agent gets slightly more aggressive than I like, but other than that, they seem more trustworthy than other opportunities like this that I come across.    

Beyond operations, I specialize in connecting investors to exclusive, off-market opportunities through my extensive network.

I’m also a proponent of always having at least two “shelf” LLCs ready to go for deals so that you don’t run into delays or roadblocks when opportunities arise unexpectedly.

My wife and I thought we had an easy opportunity for a double (baseball analogy) with a flip home in Lakeland, TN we were able to get well below market this past summer.

I’ve seen a lot of investors succeed by focusing on a market with strong rental demand, good price-to-rent ratios, and opportunities for appreciation—Detroit checks all those boxes.If you’re curious, feel free to reach out, happy to point you to some resources.

There will be many situations where you can help a homeowner save their home -  however, in other situations they just want to sell quickly which provides a wholesale, fix/flip, buy/hold opportunity for you. 

My advice would be to underwrite as many house hack opportunities as possible and assume 100% vacancy + a large capex item so you stress test your worst possible scenario and can you get through this.
