Still, maybe you are over complicating it by trying to buy MF (a difficult asset to manage) on the other side of the county in an area that you have no experience investing in. 

Since the property is in Los Angeles County, I expect the eviction could take 4-6 months, followed by another month or two to secure new tenants.

I recently participated in the Howard county tax lien sale and have a property that I can now start the foreclosure process on.

And then buy a few SF homes in good school districts, probably outside of Milwaukee County for lower taxes.

I lived in Napa for a decade and invested heavily in Sonoma and Lake counties as he did. 

well you have your own answer there are no lenders for entitlements  there are JV partners like me for entitlements but its not at traditional lending rates of course as its all risk capital.WI funded 3 entitlement deals in 2024 in Loudan  county VA to the tune of 7 figures in cash. since my client does not own it its unsecured ..

Lauderdale area, but all three tri-counties.

@Alexandra Cernasov You might want to check Martindale's peer reviews of Aaron Thalwitzer, Esq before you hire him from Cocoa Beach to handle a case in Marion County. https://www.martindale.com/organization/gordon-thalwitzer-at...   

"@ Frank ChinIn this specific instance, it is undeniable that a house was built on that property more than 15 years ago simply based on Google Earth data, but you can see by the county assessor records that the house on the subject property was built in 1950 and then the property encroaching was built over the property line shortly thereafter, in 1951.@ Matt Devincenzo,From the info in your post, the land does not seem to have officially been taken by AP.

Look at Homes.com or Realtor.com to get an idea what that type of property is selling for (look at the ones Pending or Under Contract)...or, look in the county's GIS system to see what similar properties sold for.Once you have an idea what a fair market value would be, let the landlord (if they're interested in selling) mention their price.
