As you  probably know I need to get properties at a deep discount in order to sell them fast.  

I would 'start' up higher and put the bigger size drops out of the gutters,,,gooseneck back to house and straight down screwed fast to the house. 

I am a clueless investor and I do say that seriously because I'm from NYC but I have been doing my analysis, study, physical drive around, research and talking to other Newark investors and came to the conclusion that if you purchase multi family for 30-40k which there's plenty at that price on the MLS and fix it for 60k then section 8 all the apartments, that's cash flow with a fast payoff. this is the strategy that I have focus on that will work in Newark, any other strategy I would not advice.Again you have to have thick skin cause is in the lower class areas but last I check, money has no class standard.

Why would someone want to get rid of their house fast instead of putting it on the market and waiting for the highest offer?

  ( Fast forward yourself 7 years from now and you get the picture)  I also believe the City of Columbia has more inventory coming into the market that will compete with the rental market of those two groups I mentioned above which is not a concern for you now since your goal is to be a homeowner for 2yrs but it will be in 2yrs when you go to rent .  

I have done this in the past then used  the fast orange hand  degreaser .  

Being a fast state, I don't want to spend anymore money to evict only to then have 1st foreclose and I get nothing.

Drywall is not very fast to dry out, so it may be acting like a sponge (holding on to the moisture) and creating a perfect place for mold to grow.  

People love the idea of turnkey, but forget that it's really easy to throw a crappy tenant into a unit for the purposes of getting a "turnkey" sale done fast.

Reminds me I need to update the Group banners which have my website and contact info for anyone who wants to sell their home fast.
