In judicial states in which the foreclosure process often takes a year or more, this not only generates income, this also typically mitigates property deterioration, vandalism, and other costly issues which diminish the value of abandoned properties which remain vacant for extended periods.

Also, consider this copy & paste advice below: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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Flat rates often bill during vacancy, and this is less impetus for the leasing team to get it filled.
