The house was a burn out and had significant fire damage.

I live in Pleasantville ny, easy commute no matter what route you take (train/car) and our leases for the renovated units in our 6 family a block from the train is: 1900/1 bed, 2400/2Bed, 3500/3 Bed (the other 3 units have long term tenants and are not updated so rents are lower)

I know I have had some setbacks before in regards to renters causing large amount of damage, and not paying rent, to my first rental. 

I was firm with the tenants multiple times over text/in person and essentially hardballed them with a strict deadline saying their items may get damaged by contractors by this date, and they ended up clearing everything out.Didn’t have to pay them any cash, hire an attorney, build a shed, or pay for storage.

Smoking inside of a home is one of the more expensive types of damage to remedy.

The water seeped down and caused some ceiling damage to the unit below mine. 

Just type your city and real estate in the search block and something should come up.

Purchase price: $135,000 Cash invested: $33,000 Solid block and brick 3 unit, freestanding building.

I have worked in property management for 2.5 years in the Boston Ma area - I am an aspiring investor but collecting capital to begin has been my biggest road block.

You can check the county's foreclosure auction block to see if it's listed yet and if not, there is a long way to go.
