There are many closed roadside hotels/motels. What are some good ideas for these properties? Of course, small studio apartments are an option, but what are some other ideas

@Joseph Abbott, other good options include:Partnering with a local investor to take you through the ropesTalking to the neighbors of the abandoned properties to see what they can share with youWorking with a Title Company (if you have one you work with) to research the property, ownership, and liensGood luck, let us know how it goes, and reach out if you need help!

@Rocky Pe Benito  good luck in your hunt OOS can work.. again just caution you on thinking that tenant quality works in reverse exponentially.. when you get out of PDX your in a whole nother world.PDX because of how this city and state has grown simply does not have the wide valuations of real estate. you can't drive down any street here and see 5 board ups or abandoned homes.. this is what you will find when you look at 25k doors across the country.. not to mention war zones which again is what your going to encounter at those price points.. we simply do not have that here in PDX and if your from here and have not travelled much its quite a shocker..

Am looking for better ways or formula ....I reside in Wa I have being coming across a lot of Abandoned SFR .

Look for the ones that are rundown and abandoned and find owners that are away and paying taxes.I wish you the best of luck on your business!

The lower percentage of vacant and abandoned homes drives down crime as there are less places for those with ill intentions to congregate unseen by law enforcement. 

hello training Renfro my name is Michael and I too am new to the real estate investing, but I have a question that you may be able to help me with being that you are able to locate people. my question is if there's a certain property say in Clayton County that is abandoned how would I go about finding out who owns the property to get in contact with them to find out if the property is for sale or not?

However block 2 has some of the highest crime areas in the city, and neighborhoods that have a ton of abandoned homes. 10 blocks can be two different world here. 

Greetings from our soggy nation's capital. i'm a wholesaler specializing in vacants and abandons between DC and baltimore. if you invest in that area or are looking to invest in these areas give me a shout. let's make some $$$ together.

I may be off base, but based on my own personal experience, it seems that FCs that occur now are the properties that are more or less abandoned (or all communication with the lender has been cut off).I may be wrong, but that's how it looks from my point of view.
