I somewhat understand why the cities are trying to regular airbnb's out completely. 

Hi - BP has been a tremendous help so far, so I thought I would try out this new question. 

competing against those in the industry is very hard .. .And your not going to have any luck trying to daisy chain these deals . 

@Scott Hansen Try Up/Down Property Management or Algo Realty.

@Kayenta Saucier - I wouldn't say it is a great deal or a bad deal.A lot of us still try to use the following equation.Maximum offer = ARV * 0.7 - repair costs.  

You need to know the law like the back of your hand, have policies and procedures in place to deal with problems swiftly/accurately/legally every single time, and be prepared to deal with tenants that push back hard or try to take you to court.

I am trying to learn all the things before I decide to either build on these lots or just hold it for a while. 

I personally am not trying to build a portfolio of 100 doors, I am trying to build a portfolio big enough to support our ideal lifestyle. - We start with the property vs. the numbers. 

Quote from @Sebastian Medina: I would search out people in your market that are flipping, and try going to a couple meetups as well.

Trying to “take over” a vacant property that appears abandoned is not for the untrained would-be investor.
