We can easily determine the additional cost of electricity, gas, water usage, and consumables (paper towels, laundry detergent, cleaning products, etc.). 

keep in mind your holding cost and sales cost will easily be 8 to 10%  so 625k  nets 575k.. if everything goes right.curious where does 2 and 1 sell for 625k.. not many folks build 2  and 1s these days

(Larger house, private beach, family friendly) or diversify in “type” and maybe do the opposite....maybe aim for the couple travelers instead and get a smaller place in a hyper convenient location (right by downtown, restaurants, etc)Any thoughts appreciated!

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

We're easily seeing rental vacancies being limited to a month.

I will absolutely travel for this experience.

At its current minimum bid price, I can see someone easily making 80k (or more) off the property, with only 30-35k initial investment: the county requires only 20% down + fees, then carries 5 year contract, costs associated with municipal liens which are the only liens not released as a consequence of the tax foreclosure (state law), clean up costs for the property itself, costs related to the sale of the property including any action to quiet title, and costs associated with having to hold the property 3 months in case such action has to happen prior to selling said property.

Must be easily accessible all seasons and be near outdoor activities (e.g. hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, etc.).

Simple removal could cost $3500 but if there is leaking into the soil it could cost $10k-$20k easily is my understanding.Does this make this a potential seller financing deal? 

A friend and kind of mentor told me that that scratches easily and to stick with the ceramic tile.
