@Sophie Maisel You didn’t ask but seems like cutting down the trees in front and landscaping would make a difference.

@Melanie Hartmann You did what you did. That’s the past. You know what you want to do. How can the BP community help?

Clearly I have a lot to learn about thinking like a landlord. 

We saw a foreclosure that’s been on the market for a long time. It’s in a suburban location, end of a beautiful block, rustic, bucolic. Charming backyard with a clear stream. 1.5 acres, peaceful and quiet, private but neighbors nearby.

The house is mid century modern and definitely needs renovation especially as the floor plan is a little weird.

But here is the question- the ceilings are very low. Maybe 7 feet. Could that be what is putting people off?

@Tim Huynh go for the clear glass. Looks better.

@Jonathon Weber I have no answers but thank you for asking the questions.

Excellent point. I'm in NY and am sure it probably takes at least a half-century. And thousands of dollars.

Had no idea there were thousands of newly minted investors! Still I’m assuming this is a big, fragmented market. 
I love the idea of helping people stay in their homes. 

I like that idea. I will start with Win-Win Revolution...

I did have a look at your profile. Thank you for sharing how you got into this.

My sense of this 1) steep learning curve 2) not easy 3) there is actual work involved :-) 3) it's like sales - you have to reach out to a lot of people and get a lot a lot of rejections 4) if you keep beating your head against the wall eventually you will get a break and things will come together 5) continuous education and outreach is important.

But really I have no idea as this notion came across my path literally 48 hours ago. 

I would like to educate myself a bit more and then - if you would be open to conversation (in which I have done enough homework to ask informed questions) I would be most appreciative.
