For tech illiterates in this day and age, I think a check/money order in the mail is about as advanced as you can safely get.

I'm also a business grad from Tech, and can vouch for the Rawls College of Business as an outstanding college :)

I guess my question is whether there is good way to figure out who the owner of the property is since it's empty and not on the market.Another possible option is a distressed property, with a rehabbed interior and a sad exterior/ roof/ yard on Byrom St that has been on the market for 4 months with price drops, and up until last week had a giant tree hanging over it which was just removed.

I am not a financial whiz or a commercial giant by any means, only that I know if we sell this property, the buyer is going condo route, so why couldn't I go that route.I am guessing my biggest mountain at the moment is how could I even possibly get financing for a 30-40 unit complex since in theory we are talking in the multi millions.  

It's on you as the buyer to complete your due diligence, and that could have included HVAC techs inspecting the units on your behalf.

The tech boom combined with many upcoming projects and initiatives have really caught the eyes of many investors to the Pittsburgh area, not to mention that the buy-in is often better than other more saturated markets.

She did not turn her keys back in so tech not but all her furniture was moved out all that was left was a bunch of garbage that I hadn’t hauled away yet to see if she does.

Hey, Guys, I am a tech nerd, I love using different types of tech to improve my business, I am a big fan of Podio...

For most of our small drywall and plywood hauls from the big orange retail giant and its big blue competitor, the rack on top of the SUV and the moving blanket+ratcheting load straps that we keep in the spare-tire compartment do just fine.Our vehicle of choice, and I remember the old days fondly, used to be a Honda Odyssey with 200,000 miles on it.

If you dig up all the dirt, you will have a giant leaky sieve/strainer and you'll have to basically start over again.
