It is nice to start conversating with people before we get down there so we can make the most of our time.

Is that the conversion rate they expected from such a large list?

I want to see if anyone else on here has invested into the Lehigh Valley (from NYC or anywhere else) whether into residential or commercial and get your take on your experience so far.Looking forward to getting this conversation started.Ray

After she passed it became a rental to a slum land lord and after one of his tenants destroyed the property while having 8 people living inside it's 950 sq ft, he and I had a conversation and I bought it from him as-is for 69,000 and he didn't have deal with the mess they left.

Based on a conversation with my agent, the seller is looking to be presented an offer and we would negotiate from there.

I'm working on acquiring a former Adult Care Home from a retired couple, and I'm doing research ahead of a conversation with them about owner financing, which they are open to.

The other markets might be as well, but what I know about my market is we saw 2% appreciation throughout our mls last year despite the national news of real estate being in a decline… we are so insulated from the “bubble” conversation.

It's not that big of a problem if the zoning allows for 3 units on a property of that size, however in most cases like this the conversion would have been done illegally or at the very least is no longer a conforming use.The shared water meter is pretty typical for multifamily here in Tampa.

Sounds like you need to have a conversation with your agent to clarify what costs you want the seller to pay.

I'm navigating the process of purchasing a rental property for the first time and would love to hear the forum conversation insights.
