I would just find comparable parcels in the changed zone that have sold and use those.

I am looking at a similar strategy for myself, jumping back into real estate investing after I sold most of my portfolio a few years ago.

In a fast and strategic move, we sold the home the same day for $14,000.

Without any major renovations, we strategically sold the property the same day for $20,000.

The landowner simply wants to get lots sold and create activity in development.

First off, not a fun position to be in where you have a good feeling but not fully sold on a tenant.

This will allow you to run specific underwriting and projection tools to better assess each option.Remember, owning a property with a pool comes with added expenses, such as heating, emergency and routine maintenance, and higher insurance costs.

Ya'll if you are trying to do a deal where you need a lender for an earnest money deposit, you're a tool who's got no business putting somebody's property under contract.

I have bought over 15 million and sold over 50 million of real estate in the Cleveland and Columbus, OH markets in the last 3 years and the vast majority comes from 1 - cold calling targeted areas consistently with good data2 - networking with agents, wholesalers and those who are consistently doing deals.

If they won't clean it up, talk to the City and see if they have any tools that may help.
