When I did finally get to sit with the person that was motivated to sell if they were in foreclosure  99% were..

Now trailer is full and sitting in an empty lot of mine. 

But I also cannot let it just sit.

We'll literally sit down with them while signing the lease documents and talk about their specific financial situation.

I'm a fast reader, I can take in what you have to say without having to sit around and wait for you to say it.

If the place has solid bones, mechanical s, and a decent interior  (even if needs updating later) I'd take the deal because it's a 3/2 which means your rental and resale buyer market is expanded, but again it all comes down to the 2 other variables. 

It's great you have so much faith in the American medical system, however; they are the same ones that allowed the Ebola patient  that stated he had been in Liberia, to be seen by medical staff, sit with unassuming patients, and then sent him home with "the flu", only to find out they had made a mistake. 

I'm sitting on about $150K of liquid assets at the moment, but could move some things around to get to $300K or so if I saw opportunities.
