I am not an expert... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once...

However, every time I get on this site and look through forum posts I'm bombarded by people expressing genuine interest in one another and trying to solve others problems.To keep it short and sweet, thank you.

I would not look much further out of these particular markets for the same concerns you expressed.

Maybe I'm mistaken on that and "ownership interest" is actually meant to express equity. 

I expressed my concerns of having 2 vacant units multiple times with the seller.

People have different ways of expressing themselves.

My name is Walter and I'm with Express Capital Funding Group in Orange County, CA.

The developers try to time the market for a project.So I have seen developers go I will buy now to lock in a low price and pay the carrying costs OR I have seen them wait until new council members get in who are more pro growth OR they wait for a good time of them year to build.For a seller one of the main reasons they do not get a rezone from residential to commercial is the cost and time involved plus once you get zoned to commercial you will get hit with higher assessed property taxes and the land might not sell for years instead of months.Just try to talk to whatever development group is interested and express what points are important to you.

I have been spending a lot of time and money getting the properties updated and rented with very little reserves.As many others expressed in this thread.

Knowing how many wholesale type events are out there and that title companies do not catch all things, I would guess there are some snags that are pretty problematic.In addition, it brings to light under some of the same guise, the deed language used and lack of express language to prevent merger.
