I figured calling would be easier, and they said I can't transfer the title or they will call the loan due.

Then let's set up a call to discuss your options and figure out a strategy for Home 2.Jeff

it looks like you have found out - correctly - that the vast, vast majority of properties for sale aren't good deals from an investment perspective. 

When I'm figuring out how to price an Airbnb I always cross-reference AirDNA or PriceLabs to get an estimate on what the income would be.

I was able to figure out that they had come upon some hard times and were significantly low on cash.

I dont know the market in Las Craces.....but in the DC area, we definitely have a seasonal adjustment on sales, and if the property was here, it would have been listed at the worst possible time. 

Studies show good staging does have an impact on your sale.

Regardless, you might find the copy & paste info below helpful:)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Who is the best person to help me figure these leases out?

Of course, the story isn’t done being written and it’s always possible the value could go back up.It was also less expensive to buy and sell our laundromat, particularly because we brokered the sale ourselves, saving us 10% of the sale price.
