@Joe Splitrock @Timothy Hillyer @Chris May @Mike Landry @David DachteraI'm still pretty new here, but this has been one of the most interesting discussions I've seen on this site.

But he had security on site during rehab taking ID's etc.. he determined a lot of the theft was from the workers who knew exactly what was installed during the day and stolen at night.. 

You can also sell them on sites like paperstac, debexpert or others as well as brokers like Mission Capital, Rams or Phoenix.Depending on quality of paper and interest rate will determine sales price - also I would say self servicing can have a negative impact on the sales price as the major players in the space are not fond of self servicing. 

My last one i requested a call so i could meet him at the site.  

Keeping things hush-hush from the on-site staff?

but I suspect homesites will drive the best values.. no one wants logged over sites for building ( generally speaking)  it works here in the Northwest because of the incredible shortage of buildable land. but in other areas not so much

Aside from the risk of taking on the property with tenants, you may also have to purchase site unseen which makes it tough to calculate repair costs. 

I don't advertise anything at all and never have in more than ten years on the site.

A lot of that is referral based or people find my site online, organically. 

This site is an absolute gold mine for those just getting started like yourself.
