I had it listed on FB marketplace, Craigslist, Zillow, hot pads, and at least 4 other major sites.

If you're looking for a little risk, I play around with some pharma's who are close to FDA approval for a drug or who have a hot drug in their pipeline.

Multi tenants are almost never responsible for the water bill and, depending on the neighborhood and the HVAC systems in the building, the owner may be on the hook for paying to heat the building as well (Is is one central system like a boiler, or separate like forced air or electric heat?

YUP its crazy the amount of money wholesalers spend on advertising and then have no ability to list the property and let a hot lead go.. 

Best advise I could give you is to do some in depth research on the marker you plan on buying and once the air clears from what's going on start building your portfolio. 

FHA and VA are the cheapest options, but not very competitive when it comes to hot deals.

I'll roll my window down and turn my vehicle off so I can listen to the noises of the area and try to smell the air.

Sounds like a good plan to follow.Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.I am considering shutting down my vacation rental for a couple months or only renting to instate renters.I have turned off instant booking on both Homeaway and Airbnb to prevent people from hot spots renting per the SC governor's orders.I don't want to perpetuate the problem at the sake of making a buck.

I spoke to a few property management firms and said that the rental market is “hot” and can lease my home in 30 days (my home is 15 yrs old, also in good neighborhood with great schools 10/10).Question:  Would it make sense to take the plunge in this volatile market and buy a pre-owned home and rent our existing home? 

The saving grace of this home, all the natural woodwork was kept in remarkable condition AND since the home is in the flight path of the airport, 5 years ago Mitchell International came in and replaced all the windows, exterior doors, installed 2 new furnaces, 2 new central air units, basement dehumidifiers, and water heaters.
