Like everything else, you have to cut through their static and built the trust.

I would definitely brush up on the laws in St Louis because this is from a few years back.

On the contract under the legal description it mentions lots D & E, but no mention of B.According to the zoning ordinances I was reading it states under the chapter concerning nonconforming lots, structures and uses that…“Two or more contiguous parcels of property owned by the same person shall be considered as being one parcel if one or more are nonconforming in size and the resulting parcel does not contain two principal buildings.”This leads me to believe that the property owner can NOT sell ONLY lots D & E, basically because this would then “create” a new nonconforming lot.I called our realtor and pointed this out and she more or less brushed it off saying it is probably only referring to a single lot for tax purposes.

Usually after going to 2-3 networking events and meetups, you'll already have brushed shoulders with private investors/lenders that are on the hunt for a deal.

Hi George,Here is a sample Due Diligence checklist from Michael Becker:https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56afdb21b09...That is like a "wish list" of best case scenario for larger multifamily properties so some of those requested items on the list may not be applicable.  

If it is easy to brush off, it's a goal not a "Why" .

@Sam Leon If you show them the access hatch under the cabinet with the brushed aluminum handle…that will get your appraisal up there where it belongs

Never invest in a city if either the state or city populations are static or declining.

Then he refused to recognised his promess, he refused to refund me my hearnest money and gave me a brush off about the roof.

@Ken P.Something static like that can easily be done with an IRA held by a trust company as custodian.
