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. 

HOwever it does boil down to industry and jobs.. you got them you have a nice vibrant community the Mill be it steel lumber textiles closes down and now you have out flow and dead and dying real estate.I mean there is a reason that many of the landlords on this site can buy rentals for under 30k in many many parts of the central US and rust belt.. comes down to supply and demand there is more supply than demand..  

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.. 

Anything you have to rehab right now, anything you need guys to show up and work on, should be a very big question mark in your portfolio right now.One of my buddies had a 10% hike on his loose lumber package, this was last Tuesday. 

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.

The learning curve a killer but now I am stuck on unloading my burden selling it to break even or renting it out at loss.
