I'm a Licensed Realtor in the Los Angeles region who analyzes and extracts Bulk data from MLS and private listings to determine the best Cash Flow, Rehab, and high ROI properties currently on the market.Looking to create a team of like-minded people interested in sharing the knowledge, experience, and wealth that Real Estate Investing offers. 

I do have a couple of recommendations for you though; Ask the listing agent ' Is there anything aside from price that the seller would prefer to have in an offer,' such as Specific closing date, or a lease back so that they may find a replacement property, etc....I have found this to be a very effective way to extract some of the seller motivation.

@Kyle GreggNot sure where you extracted that quote, but if it certainly does imply some potential responsibility of the mortgagee, just not to you.

It's a load of bull and the seller has already extracted out all of the upside without taking the risk.

The approach so far is containment, water extraction, dehumidifiers, anti-microbials, manually removing mold, sanding all wood surfaces once dry, hepa vac, kilz coating of all surfaces, hepa vac again.Perfect storm:enclosed crawlspace, still air, hot water, spraying water leak for at least one and up to two weeks straight.  

Is it even possible to extract a property from a loan, or would that entail an entirely new loan? 

As a business owner, you need to focus on the tasks that you are good at an can extract the most value from.

I'd like to convert this .txt information I have into an Excel file, ultimately with the goal of mailing to these people.I'd love to hear from everyone who has experienced similar data troubles as this -- please reach out if you've found workarounds to extracting usable data from these .txt files.Thanks!

They'll have to upload your plans to their software and then extract all the measurements to itemize the lumber.  

It's really a question of being able to see the potential of a building, navigate rent control, get your buyouts handled BEFORE removing contingencies, and renovating in the right aesthetic to extract the highest rents.
