Depends on where you buy around the Detroit area and what you consider high income tax.

Sadly, it’s sat on the market too long and I’m looking to get creative with bringing the attention of many buyers looking for a good deal on a property (online auction or something else with tons of attention??)

For me it was math: I started looking at a portfolio risk rather than individual risks and your 30 year loans anchor my portfolio. 

My business focuses on residential construction and renovation, with a particular interest in fix-and-flip projects.

I own a piece of land on which someone else has their mobile home. 

I plan on building self storage on the property,  and have enough money in a CD to build the first one.

I have a rental house on a month to month lease.

You would simply place all names of occupants on the notice, pursue eviction, execute eviction of those you did not want to stay and let the others stay. 

six months later, he closed on a property without it ever hitting the market.

By trap I mean either you get into a house that isn't what it was proposed to be or you get in bed with people (your network) that do not have your best interest at heart and are feeding you lines of bs as they never come through for you.
