First you spread a plastic throw away sheet down, blast it off unwanted surfaces,,letting the dry ice drag it down to floor plastic,,,, let dry ice evaporate,,,carefully wrap plastic to center and toss,,,protective gear should always be used. dry ice is hard on the skin so dont contact,,,cover up.

LESSOR/LANDLORD strongly recommends that LESSEE/TENANT purchase at LESSEE/TENANT’S expense an insurance policy commonly known as a “Renter’s Insurance Policy” on behalf of and to help protect any of the LESSEE/TENANT’S furnishings or possessions from theft, damage, or any other unwanted occurrence.It is also hereby agreed that after departure from premises, the LESSOR/LANDLORD is not responsible for any LESSEE/TENANT’S possessions, and LESSEE/TENANT waives claim for damages suffered.LESSEE/TENANT also agrees not to remove or attempt to remove any personal property on the premises while there remains unpaid any portion of the rent, whether due or to become due; but if any attempt is made to remove any of the personal property referred to, the LESSOR/LANDLORD shall be authorized and empowered to seize and retain such property until he is fully paid for such rent as is or shall become due under the terms of this lease.

@Wouter Erwee, I attend meetings organised by the SA Property Investors Network. 

That's what strong marketing does: attract quality prospects and repeal the unwanted callers.I use a call center for my callers.

I would think to myself, "I am buying their UNWANTED property, and I am buying it at a FAIR price." or,"It's not that I am truly buying at 60%-70% on the dollar, because there is no way retail buyers will pay the ARV price for a property in this condition!

. = active investmentExample 1b: you flip houses and have a GM organise contractors and a realtor finding the deals and finding buyers.

Does anyone have any advice or an efficient way to find/purchase vacant homes, fire damaged homes or other unwanted properties with too much work/damage?

Nothing worse than unwanted guests at the front door on a sat afternoon or some telemarketer calling about a "great opportunity" to purchase a worthless timeshare or security system. (^_^) You politely try to tell them you aren't interested before they even start their sales pitch.

Not hard and you can turn your savings into a massive wealth of more cash + land + monthly income.Here is the big picture:1) Buy unwanted rural land for next to nothing2) Sell it for a lot more money on the internet3) Collect the payments for years to come.

I can't wholesale a property without full disclosure of the situation and my MAO was under 250K.I explained why.Regardless of which approach they take to selling this unwanted inheritance (with no equity, owing over 300K, and their own property as collateral)--either selling below ARV and refinancing their arm loan to release their property; or having an agent put it on the market--they're still going to owe a good amount (on the home to to the agent) after the sale.
