Also wanted to buy this property as it was a board up directly across from my first investment property so by improving it I helped the neighborhood values and keeping the area up.

In Pennsylvania (where it appears the poster is) there is no official challenge board to challenge appraisals.

Since eligibilty is often hyper specific to a particular board, it is essential to get direct validation from that entity prior to even touring a property. 

First Raise (Midsize Deals & Small-Moderate Family/Friends Raise): After the new GP put points on the board and establishes operating track record, they begin raising small-moderate equity commitments from family & friends who will co-invest as either LP's or JV equity partners.

On your vision board are likely a few locations that hopefully hold a fond place in your heart.

You may want to threaten them with reporting them to their state real estate board/commission and state AG.

@JD Martin  bottom line just like Morris was able to convince his clients what a great investor he was etc.this pilot does stupid pilot tricks acts like an expert when in fact .. he is anything but and I just lucky he has not augured in. and taken anyone with him.problem with MOrris is he augered in with 400 plus investors on board.

I think you have to pay $1500 to franchise tax board if you are from CA and if you have LLC regardless if you have zero income.

But most on this board would probably say we are pretty far along for only 6 years.  

You might be able to get a collaboration going with their head and present those options to the board.
