Property going through probate, if the heirs of the decedent agree, is your best bet on a transaction. 

If I could find a way to bet on it I would-  mountain house, Ca here I come ; )

But I would not be willing to bet on that.

I don't invest in War Zone (D) properties, but the C or better neighborhoods don't bother me.  

@Shawn ConnorsRent to own works best in A or B areas, not C or D areasPerfect house,  perfect neighborhood, perfect schools, some where to sink their feet for 5 to 7 yearsInstead, I would look at buying on terms like a wrap around mortgage or sub 2 then renting it out if the area is not great

I just closed on my 4th commercial building - its a 23K sq/ft vacant 3 story building in the downtown of a C+ or B- city.I picked it up at a great price of 190K.

@Jake Parsons we're not of anywhere in the city of Detroit where you can get a deal like that on a solid Class C or higher property.

I'd buy as many cash flowing 1% rule rentals in a B-/C+ or better neighborhood that I can in the market I know and have a team in.

I realized buying a home in C class neighborhood is a nightmare, but I took a bet on upcoming growth due to Tesla and maybe it worked as home appreciated by 20-25 % in last 7 months. 

Not sure I'd want a gas stove in a C or lower class home as the open flame could be a problem but generally in nice neighborhoods people are accustomed to gas stoves.
