Ben,
That has happened to me before. I think it’s best just to tell them that the property is outside of your investing area. That you stick within a certain geographic area.

If the price is right, buy it and flip.

Ben,
Why would you not buy the property for the right price? I wil buy anything for the right price. I tell them right up front when someone wants to sell me something in a war zone that they better be about ready to give it to me because I don’t pay much at all for them.
They in many cases are willing to give them away, but you won’t know if you don’t ask. Offer 10-20% of FMV, I have bought many homes this way and if you buy them cheap enough there is always someone willing to pay more.

Do you know of any investors that work the warzones?
If so, pass it along!
If no, network!
I always have a solution. There are investors that
invest heavily in warzone areas. Find out who they
are. Multiple streams, even if the water is polluted.
