I'll bet you would dig thru 1000 properties if there are that many to find a decent OTC deal in Texas. 

If you’re just saying the survey cost of getting the existing building layout documented is too much, you might be able to get creative and avoid the costs, but it’s not a great bet to make. 

You can do it yourself, but the best bet is usually contacting a vending machine company. 

Generally best bet is to be able to do significant portfolios at a time and try to bundle at least 8-10 of these in one blanket loan

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF.

Lots of these new construction builds were done very cheaply, and since it is wood framing with siding, flashing stucco, etc; if the proper flashing drippage and caulking wasn't done correctly you will often find leaks.

It was inspected as a duplex, and I'd bet it'll be appraised as a duplex as well (basically removing the oven gives the appraiser plausible deniability), which could create value issues and impact your DTI if you need to use rental income to qualify. 

It seems they are remobing all the all the greenhouses and it seems that a big construction project.

Guy was getting a hard money loan for property and construction (don't know the details of the loan) only that the bid was accepted in FEB and the lender totally dragged his feet until it finally closed in August. 

I bet Maine is GORGEOUS!!
