But if it's a 30 year loan, I would bet all my property that it will happen at least once (and probably several times more than once) in the span of that loan.

That and Merion Village are your best bets for cash flow out of that lot.

And I bet if you make someone some money they would be willing to lend it to you again! 

And I bet it needs a little work also, right? 

@Geoffrey Klein - I also think siding is your best bet. 

Is this a lot of work - you bet.

I would not bet too much on agriculture.

I bet the answer is no!

You may be a "Preferred Type".If you don't come across as a Hobo or a Tramp, and your demeanor is not scary to people, and your not actively using drugs, you're best bet to solve the problem quickly is to look for a room mate situation.Try to find someone in your general age bracket who is renting a room (Craigslist roommates wanted).Don't be too picky at first about fixing old furniture, just get inside and then try to move up later.Then be a good "Clean" roommate who causes no problems and pays your portion of the rent on time.You can find these situations in apartment complexes and in homes.Some will be month to month vs a longer lease. 

@Dana Sarcona my bets would be on Hackensack - there’s quite a bit of investment going on in the downtown and there’s big plans for a revitalization- prices are still moderate and there’s easy accessibility to NYC transportationThat’s where I would be looking.
