I'm trying to figure out how this works.

The property is in the middle of town and is close to the hospitals, so I figured that a midterm rental would be the best route.

A 19 year old nay be able to figure out how to do this.  

Until whoever is sending you these opportunities has the conversation with you on how much you'd like to make on a deal, how you figure your ARV and how you plan a rehab/ costs they are likely going to continue sending you opportunities you won't find too appealing. 

So it really just comes down to figuring out what solution works for a given market, but it's yet another great thing about real estate: having options!

But if I were you I would be making a immediate bee line back to the property (xmas or not) to figure what the heck happened and quickly make an assessment to get the property back in condition. 

I guess, I am trying to figure out how all this really work.  

Good luck, and let us know what you figure out!

It's impressive that you were able to figure that out. 

I stared flipping & remodeling 3 years ago and I am now onto building multiple 7 figure custom homes.
