And many situations use a combination of the 3 approaches.The single family house (sfr) is real estate, since it is (presumably) permanently attached to the land, etc.

@Natalie SchanneSomething I found interesting was theres a guy selling some single family homes that are rented out to i presume college students, getting over 1%...but even the one that was selling for 325k and renting for $3570/month made me hesitant.

I apologize as I'm not real big on wholesaling... but I would presume there would be difficulties in wholesaling a short sale.

@Philip Mullinax I presume you are going to give notice that their lease will not be renewed?

I am guessing they all offer about the same service for the same price.With ***********, my prospective tenant pays the $35 fee.In some cases the mere mention of a background and credit check has scared off some people presumably because they had something to hide.

I’ve already gotten 3 messages to view the unit in only a few hours so people are still looking and moving during the pandemic, but my largest and most expensive unit has been sitting vacant longer than it presumably would have, pandemic or not. 

I got one more for for ya:  I presume if I am considering a BRRRR strategy that I would also want to make sure I have my refi ducks in a row before even beginning the initial offer on the property - should I also have a prequal with a bank set up to make sure I am covered for the refi 6-12 months down the line?

Abandonment is conclusively presumed if rent is unpaid for fifteen days following the due date and (1) a substantial portion of the Tenant(s) possessions have been removed or (2) acquaintances of Tenant(s) or other reliable sources indicate to Agent that Tenant(s) have left without intending to re-occupy the premises.

Presumably any potential buyer who refused to do this would not fare well in the bidding.

Boxing yourself into your local market only is going to greatly reduce your opportunities which I presume you already know and are ok with.
