If you'd like some boots in the ground, local, familiar with the area, willing to checkout property, talk to folks face to face, take pics or video, market for you, or whatever you can think of, please let me know how I can help.

I wouldn't boot a good tenant, or a paycheck, just to stick to my guns.

And I have never seen a boot camp on spec building.  

Obviously I would want to take title, but in the event that is not an option, I am seeking to see if there are other options someone had used before to combat this scenario.

This might be the first year where I don't take an actual loss, still loosing on paper though. 5 years later and no appreciation to boot lol.

Every funder (and I am finding every boots-on-the-ground flipper) has different "pain points" of what they want, or what they want to avoid.

Find a reia group close and get the real boots on the ground info from the people that can give you the information you need. 

While I understand your desire for a simple rehab, finding good "boots on the ground" support and a property that needs a bit more work will often yield a better return.Here is the basic foreclosure math.  

I have recently learned how to use my podcast feature on my iphone, and have been "going to town on them".Lots of exciting stuff to learn, and FREE to boot!

One is a boots on the ground and the other two do the marketing with one paying for the marketing and the other is answering the phones and processing the leads.
