I was catching up on some old shows on the DVR and on Discovery Channel and the star of the show Undercover Billionaire, Glenn Stearns said that most people buying real estate think you have to put down 20 to 30% down but that's not true and on the show he only put down 10% and got another $10,000 to fix the place up wrapped into the loan. 

The police and the energy company have already been out to try and fix the power lines and stuff. 

Refocus your energy into getting it fixed. 

It helps both parties to discern if the tenant is likely to qualify to rent the unit, saving time and energy for all.

Of course, you could also outsource this part of the business by partnering with a rock star broker who's willing to work with a new investor without much money of their own, depending what you're bringing to the table in terms of value.Door knocking, writing letters is free, checking public records, and networking are all free beyond the inevitable time, energy, gas and postage costs that are associated with the effort.

Taking the things off your plate that weigh you down will give you not only that time back, but give you more energy and motivation.

@Joshua YangA few 'stake-out' nights, or perhaps even confrontational barging in and letting airbnb guests know the situation and that they cannot stay there, and informing them they need to give a 1 star review, will have a huge impact.If you want to go all the way, as well, you might see if you can get law enforcement involved. 

Visited Cleveland for the first time this past summer for the MLB all-star weekend and loved the downtown area.
