I called the contractor on the 55k as i thought that might include materials siding etc. ( pre lumber run up days LOL)  Nope just labor I said who pays that ? 

That supply at some point comes back to earth with the price of lumber and building materials being reduced.It does seem plausible that we have a longer term change in demand simply because people can work from home.  

Lumber costs are through the roof.

Another easy way is call around brokerages in the area, you always have realtors that work with investors and might be able to help unload the property. 

Make sure you approve the tenant and look at all the application docs.Some turnkey companies lipstick their property and put in any tenant and unload it to an out of state investor.. 

I know what they own.. and its all backed by real estate and growing timber.. always a need for lumber world wide.  

Now thinking about unloading it when I move to Kansas and starting completely from scratch.  

But they aren’t all crooks, it can be done ethically and legally, and fill a gap in the market, helping seller’s unload houses that most any real estate agent would turn their nose up at. 

If the many flippers cant finish a project or flip for profit -- HM lenders will try to unload properties  once they foreclose and put additional strain in the marketplace..

Don't buy anything that requires flood insurance because it will be very difficult to unload in the future.You will pay more for houses in WLS...probably could be "all-in" for around $50k.
