To get to the the root of "as-is", find out if seller intends to deny access for inspections altogether.

Have you continued to use it alongside direct mail, or have you abandoned it altogether?

Selling it takes the burden off altogether but you miss out on a great cash flowing property.

You potentially completely mitigate taxes altogether using the 1031.  

My rationale is that if we don't like the area/job/etc, I still have a vacation rental I can use to generate some income while we decide the next area to claim as the primary residence.I also have the flexibility of purchasing more properties in CT, which I know better, and skipping the vacation market altogether in FL and sticking to just residential non vacation rentals in Orlando.

I would secure the unit from the outside and do as Marcia noted, or offer to remove the unit altogether.

My biggest reason for getting it was the frustration of relying on other real estate agents that would drag their feet and not give me what I was asking for or give me comps on a totally different properties, altogether.  

Altogether I came out of pocket about $5,200 in aquisition.At the time I couldn't go see the property in person but took a chance knowing the lot alone was worth over $9,000.Once i finally went to see the property it had been vacant for about 2 years.

(emphasis added).There are plenty of Wholesalers out there (both ethical and unethical) that also have their License, but INVESTING (retaining ownership for its returns) is a different topic altogether!
