On REOs, HUDs, VAs and other you can get inside but most of the time the utilities are shut off, and heat has been off for a long time at least one winter, in some cases more than one winter and are possible freeze damage to water pipes, hot water heat pipes and even boilers/hotwater heaters. 

We are starting to see more and more demand from corporate entitities at our MTRs whether that be from companies providing for their executives or skilled laborers, or insurance-associated temporary housing. 

With rising interest rates and the widening wealth gap, first-time homebuyers are by locked out of the housing market, it seems long-term rental demand is solid but of course it would be important to get quality tenants in the better parts of town.

Right now we are still in the process of removing two of the other three tenants (I think we finally made it, aside from a junk car left on the property) and working towards getting the place fully rented.

As long as your kitchen and bathrooms are in good condition and functional, there’s no significant ROI in fully renovating them.

This is a long held power, as many monopolies/oligopolies have been broken up over history.

. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

For the most part you'll get everything as long as you can prove it. 

And we are the victims. 

Also rental rates are dropping, and we are already seeing rental loan rates in the 5% range, I would expect to see rental rates under 5% by January.If you are going to be a real estate investor for the long term, why don't have your Real Estate License?
