Hi @Jesse Rivera, nice to meet you and thanks for the invitation! 

With all the development going on in Atlanta, there are still certain pockets of the city the have numerous vacant homes. 

There are numerous factors that are making new construction costs higher than they have ever been in many markets.Materials, labor, and regulations have all inflated.  

Unfortunately I'll be out of town until the 14th on business, but count me in on the next one for sure.Thanks for the  invite.

i see two options here 1) you can go back to dad and break it down as hey i cant close on the house until it's vacant and see if he can help in getting them out, 2) offer some moving expense if the lot is really that desirable to you I know not what you want to hear as the investor but it has worked on numerous occasions, 3) you will have to take it to the courts as final resolution so the sheriff can remove them.

They met with numerous others including PM companies.

I'm very hesitant to get rid of the house for numerous reasons that I stated in my last reply but also that rate. 

I have been analyzing deals and see numerous examples where it does not make since to move forward on purchases, but somehow people are still making excessive offers.

My banker knows the guys and knows that he has received numerous offers over the last few years to buy the building.

There are numerous foreigners, but they all seem to be from China, Hong Kong and Thailand.
