To whom this may concern, I am an investor looking to buy my second property.

Judges will sign off on it, but any judgment obtained by a method of service that is not allowed is void.

I misspell myself, :-) but the statutes to concern yourself with are12 United States Code USC Section 1715Z-19and theConsumer Protection ACTand a couple of others if you are interested.  

There are also people who swear by one method or another.   

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

If they do, you may have a chance under the scenario you're proposing - if they share your concern for it's condition (although that seems unlikely since they've been living with it the way it is for some time, it seems).If you own it, it's pretty lowbrow to expect a neighbor to invest in your property. 

I would recommend that they invest in an inexpensive 'white noise' machine to help muffle the sound but that no property is completely sound proof and the upstairs tenants are well-aware of their concerns and are respectful.Always 'entertaining,' huh?

At this point, I'm not so concerned about achieving that exactly, but if my REI journey takes me there on my way to (or even after) financial freedom, then I'm all for it.There's still some work to do to prepare financially for "the first deal" and that moment legitimately appears to be about 2 years away. 

Typically those purchasing cash aren't inspecting every home, they're walking it or having their go to GC walk it and already know what they see that may be a concern. 

I've begun cold calling and looking to alternate methods of finding deals, but if anyone has any advice for overcoming this I'd love to connect.
