The recyclers charged 1 to 2 dollars per tire to dispose of so was expensive.

If you're doing high volume and refreshing your list often, recycle them and move on.

I spent some time in Peru and they used anything for a home including trash, but I guess that would be building "green" with recycled materials.

For example, my parents sold out of a property many many years back because they thought it was the top of the RE cycle.

I like to also look at how rents and ARV change over time to determine the long term historical average/trend ... note I said "long term", not what prices or rents did last year or the year before, but over decades spanning multiple RE cycles.

I would recommend ERic Eikoff as a realtor (Fulton Realty) and Walters Recycling and Refuse as your trash provider.

The last thing to think about is that we may be at the High in the RE Cycle and you may be lucky in that the owner won't negotiate a better deal with you.

Also if it does have oil in it you can find your local oil recycler and he will pump it out for you for free probably.

@Andrew PostellUnderstandably, conventional lending won't have use for further due diligence since the lenders just recycle them anyway - i.e. securitizations/loan sales - but I would think some private lenders may be able to.

Buy and Hold does not work if you are a Conventional, Retail, Investor who does not pay attention to the RE Cycle.
