Many locals, including relatives of mine are staying home with their families to split rent, working several jobs or forcing families to move out of state.

@mau pan not sure how the laws work in pa but in Georgia you legally own the property the day of the foreclosure auction even though it can take several weeks or even months for the attorney to prepare and record the deed.So I always immediately get insurance, put utilities in my name and if it's vacant, get physical control and change the locks.Regarding the possibility of leaks, I always ask the water company to put service in my name, unlock the meter but leave it turned off at the meter.You can the turn it on yourself with a curb-key or a decent pair of pliers.

The mortgage lender said they want several things fixed but the seller has said this is an as-is sale.

I have several people interested in renting the home for $1,900 a month.

Was looking for a new market to flip in and out of several I explored, Birmingham rose to the top.

I have several clients that want to do Airbnb in Chicago but they have to find a property with a good rental demand for a purchase price that will give them a good ROI.

BTW, just purchased the Long Distance Brrrr book, and hope to learn and invest in several OOS investments. 

They are getting to the point where they need around the clock care and need to sell their house  where they lived to help pay for the health care and living expenses .  

I have several "out clauses" in my contracts that will allow me to back out of the deal if absolutely necessary3.)

I was a mortgage broker from 2004-2009, my father is a contractor and I have several friends that are realtors - so, the industry as a whole is not new to me.
