Quote from @Jules Aton: With the knowledge and experience you have gained what about unloading them and starting with a few doors in better neighborhoods? 

I've never actually seen a pre-hung door with lumber below the transition piece. 

If this loan is in California, there's a 99.9% chance it's unenforceable with CA's new Jr Lien law, which is likely why the note holder is trying to unload it before the borrower stops paying and the note becomes worthless.- borrowers are already in distressI wouldnt go anywhere near this, especially because I do not and will not conduct business in CA (I see you're based in CA).

I might buy 30k worth of materials on one house from my lumber company.

They were either stagnant on Ships waiting to be unloaded or being used for Storage back in China, where most of them come from. 

I am basically out of time in ab out 20 days to get this house unloaded.

Sellers seem like they are unloading really great assets for a good price.   

They even tried to unload their REIT management equity (worthless obviously) for 100k a pop promising returns that would be paid out THIS year.

Gets you in the game with less risk and less capital and if you decide you don't like being a PM should be able to unload if you buy it right.
