If you find someone (or multiple agents) who are taking advantage of similar marketing strategies, you can get more inquiries this way.Lastly, I'd recommend an email campaign to all buyer, listing, and rental agents who are active the same area as the rental listing.All the best!

Quote from @Tanner Lewis: Hey Chelsea - I'm pretty active on the lending side in the Smokies since it's mainly rural STRs.

A free property is great... but if you find a deal good enough to BRRR (which can prove challenging) take that profit and invest it into a revenue generating activity.

There are some active Jackson locals on here, I'd connect with them and ask them about this property. 

For beginners, focus on markets with lower entry costs, high investor activity, and steady demand—like parts of the Midwest or the Southeast.

I am still very active in my local market as a host of the WWL Home Improvement each weekend.

It could be a long road to recovery—meaning there is plenty of time and there will be plenty of opportunities.  

@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

When I was active, the O-4 Good Idea Fairies always tried to re-invent how we did business, and 95% of the time, they overcomplicated a simple process making our lives way harder.

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.
