Quote from @Ryan Tin: I see, that makes sense, likely need more details to make a decision.

Usually, the "materials, colors and fixtures" that are "in-vogue" will also be mass produced (which also means "cheaper") and sold at your local Home Depot and Lowes. 

Properties that don’t produce an ROI that’s consistent, or are non income producing, can vary significantly.  

If your prediction is correct, a 12 month wait may produce much fruit. 

I’d have to think that, at this point, 99% of Poconos homes are failing to break even every month in STRAt this point the Poconos has basically just become a market for locals, people in NYC or Philly who want a vacation home that occasionally rents out to subsidize a tiny portion of their mortgage every month.

(full disclosure-I knew the guy, or know him, he's not dead just gone from the auctions and haven't talked to him in a few years, but he was always nice to me and I don't have a clue as to the validity of the federal charges against him, but he always treated me decently and I've got nothing bad to say about him and I know other landlords who've been demonized and slurred as slumlords when I think they simply bit off more than they can chew, while other real slumlords seem to operate for years, as long as they don't get too big) He used to kind of dominate those auctions and maybe that was a good thing, as I'm sure there's a whole cast of characters who've filed that void.Thing is, ANY property under $100k, maybe even under $150k or $200k will certainly have multiple bidders, there are a LOT of people like me when I'm looking, who have the subscription to the sheriff's sales info reports from the Daily Reporter ($600/year and you get the results emailed to you in an Excel spreadsheet on Tues, next weeks auctions emailed on Thurs) and another good indicator is I'm on an email list for one of the firms (actually out of Chicago) which handles a tiny, tiny fraction of the cases and I've looked at the "cc list" or whatever you'd call it if ALL the addresses that email is sent to and there are HUNDREDS of them on there and this is for I think Johnson Blumberg, who many weeks don't even have any cases in MKE or Waukesha Cty.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

I would like to see about putting a tiny home on the 2 acre property and selling it to pay off the mortgage on my main property.

- more and more offenses are becoming felonies to keep those prisons full and producing income.
