Depending on the area your property is in and if nearby residents may object to the rezoning would depend on my suggestion for you attending in person. 

Hence they accomplished what you claim (claim above) is the only objective.

Their objective is to get it sold so if they can lower price then it will make it attractive for some buyer out there.HUD posts bid results but it is not helpful unless you can see more historical results over wider time frame and it does not relate to actual property sales price or details.

Avoid the "shiny object syndrome" by narrowing down your niche as soon as possible.

I know you can read a lot of doom and gloom and know a few people personally that leave and it feels like its a huge trend... but objectively its not. 

If money is your objection snap out of it, the deal holds more value.

Absorb all you can, but find out what you enjoy rather than chasing shiny objects.

We, the appraisers, are objective 3rd parties reporting and observing what is asked of us.

Keeping tenants from flushing unwanted objects seems problematic but can be handled via a clause in the lease. 1st time it's one me and any other times after its on the tenant.

It’s important to know what you want to accomplish and work with people who are committed to helping you accomplish your objectives.
