just happened to my daughter in Vegas.. she normally works the Lux market so downpayment not an issue..

Just sold one and have two under contract that will go on the market soon.Novations is allowing us to monetize more leads by presenting an offer that is better suited for someone not desperate to sell but who wants a guaranteed net price.

I would certainly start by talking to lenders, since $90k does not go very far in many markets, especially if you need to both buy a house and rehab on that budget.  

Especially in today's competitive market, being creative has never been so important! 

The market is surprisingly high here for such a small place, but i think its because the town in growing and has a very good school system.

In today's market, what innovative strategies are you using to maximize ROI on properties that might traditionally be considered high-risk or low-yield?

I'd say first, figure out what kind of investing you're into and make sure that the market you choose supports it. 

STR is becoming a difficult strategy because there are so many costs (furniture maintenance, utilities, internet, etc.) that you have to factor in and if you are in an oversaturated market, then unless your property is unique, you can only compete on price.

@Reitta Seidel, yes.Maybe sharing some of your thoughts that made you post this question will yield more valuable feedback.In my market, single family homes sell all year round.  

We're reaching out to other professionals who have done some investing in Alabama or who are very familiar with the market, (i.e. which are the more favorable counties in which to invest?)
