In order to negotiate a document that provides control (a contingent lease or purchase and sale agreement), you need to do some preliminary development and pro forma analysis which should form the basis of key terms and conditions (purchase or lease pricing, the timing and amounts of earnest money and a due diligence program/schedule/budget) of the acquisition document to get to a stated closing date.

Like any business, this is a numbers game.. for every X # of responses, you will get a certain % of "takers" and, after that, you may have a certain # of transactions that will not go through for various reasons-- so keep churning, and don't waste your time with 'paralysis of analysis"; when you get a preliminary agreement in place and your funder begins the due diligence (pre-purchase) process, THAT is when you start following more closely-- and for the transactions that ultimately close, you get a nice check AND you're getting a million dollar education for free.Keep things simple, just keep doing this over and over, and when you've referred at least a handful of notes that close, you've then built up a file and you're going to start to recognize most, if not all of the steps involved so that you can begin to invest in notes for your own account.

I am in process of getting some of the preliminary information and have also reached out to the city as you suggested.

I'm more than happy to give people preliminary advice.
