I already sold a few non performing assets to unload on the stock market when its riped to enter 

I'd unload.

I would be cautious about making an offer on something like that because you will have a difficult exit strategy.I am not trying to discourage you at all, I just hear your story and scratch my head wondering what kind of Seller let's go of a property that gives him $8K per month AND gives the Buyer $16K at the closing, and only gets $20K to unload it so he can carry the note. 

I would unload it....

In the stock market back in the day we called this "Unloading the dog ****" or "Pump and dump" 

For example: perhaps one of their clients wants to unload a rental home; if the PM arranges the transaction, they potential profit regardless of whether it is a really a good deal for the investor.

It's been winterized and covered with treated lumber, plastic (think garbage bags) and metal fencing sections.

The sellers are big players and wanting to unload small properties that are in need of a lot of work.

You can either start driving, or you can buy a list of absentee owners in your zip code area and just market with letters directly to those owners and let them know what you're trying to do and see if any of them have been itching to unload their multi.Duplexes running in high 100's to low 200s... hmmm.

2) Will lumber prices come down from the crazy highs (Put a halt to my new construction plans) and will appliances and A/C Units supply return to normal (currently severely backordered)(affecting my flips and apartment turnovers)
