@Matt WeissI think it's a great idea offering 2 offers with different closing times.

I was also curious if you have a ballpark idea of what an attorney charges for these services? 

I am trying to soak in as much information and advise as possible while working my full time job running a doctor's office, so any tips and information thrown my way would be very much appreciated.  

Direct mail to absentee owners may be a great idea, you just need to understand it is not magic, and will take a min of 6 touches to your list to possibly close a deal.

I would agree that the best idea would be to simply ask them this exact question when discussing the first property.  

You will need to bring the product information with you to the permit office downtown.

My long term goal is to keep 1 in 5 properties(at a minimum) to create a passive income stream.Do you have some ideas on how to stretch the 200k in my situation or am I on the right track?

Milwaukee City Assessor's office doesn't seem to offer property attributes for parcels listed as mercantile apartments.The $25K rehab cost is the roughest swag in this entire calculation, in my opinion.

Great idea in regards to financing the fees if I decide I need to.

These scammers always have great dishonest ideas!
