Honestly, we kind of took a flyer on this one, not really knowing how to price it when we went to sell, and knowing that we were taking a bit of a risk since it was such a unique house.

(OK, now that’s a more-doable objective.)Let’s say you feel like multi-family real estate is worth pursuing, so you’re past that stage.

@Mario Gonzalez I live in NJ and am planning to invest in real estate for rental in short term and sell it once the investment objective is met.

I'm a broker/investor in Alabama with a unique situation.

To do that, it’s marketing 101: focus on what makes your property unique (your Unique Selling Proposition or USP).

At that point many people mail out marketing to that owner, if you really want to stand out mail them an actual full offer that is contingent on you seeing the interior.As a side note never base investment decisions on the Zestimate; most of the time they are pretty close but for unique properties they can be way off.

A couple thoughts:1) Medina is a small market, and this is a unique building.

The unique appeal of this property is that it has some equestrian amenities and is located within thirty minutes of two of the largest show venues in the country.

The objective is cheap single-family houses for long-term rental, that do not require reforms or are minimal, not flips.  

This is unique to FL, and specifically the panhandle.
