You’d have to be a suspicious person to figure out.

I personally have no problem driving in the rain if there was any.

I'm not familiar with vrbo and other sites- but you could at least set up your own dot com booking funnel/site & (legal- per air bnb -personally don't know?)

This type of loan is popular as it does not require any personal income.

Back in the day the auctions were in person, not necessarily online.

I feel like a lot of these "cash" transactions are a product of homeowners sitting on record equity.

You will want to view the property in person before conditions are removed. 

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

Is there a way to get in personal contact?

I prefer to use in- house platform messaging for basic messages, and actually write personal messages for anything else.
