When the subfloor was complete, these spacers would be removed and the space filled with closed cell foam.The subfloor used no sleepers and no tapcons to anchor it to the slab.

Your property also needs repairs, getting a good appraisal may be hard without repairs knocked out.Another issue using the home as an anchor for the loan is that the value of the land exceeds 25% of the home, in fact I'm sure from what you said, the land value exceeds the value of all improvements, unless that is really some barn!

You sometimes have great anchor tenants that can attract others.

The recent expansion of UC Merced further solidifies the city's growth trajectory, making it an anchor point for investors eyeing long-term gains.4.

To avoid anchoring on the $500 number, I want to clarify these would be leads that:Have all but agreed to sell their propertyHave given a fairly low price compared to marketIs highly motivatedIs looking to sell immediatelyRealistically, most "leads" would sell for $50-$100 - this is someone ready to pick up on the other line to hear someone make an offer on their house,  with you as the wholesaler equipped with some other basic information about them and their needs/wants.I'm not sure which sites you're referring to, but from my experience in using Listsource and Melissadata, I expect to spend at minimum ~$100-500 in mail to get a call back, not including the cost of the list itself, without any sort of information on the potential seller, which leaves me at a disadvantage from a negotiations standpoint.Regarding your mentioned model - we're definitely exploring the option of:Significantly reduced cost per lead with profit sharing models for the more risk-averse individualsNo upfront cost/lead, but higher cost/lead if a bulk of sales ends up in a salePete

The veneer is attached 1 of 2 ways... 1)  mortared right to the board with no air space or 2) the use of masonry anchors at 16" on center (horiz and vert) with an air space and possible rigid insulation against the board.

The state of OH has pumped billions into the city's infrastructure and the Cleveland Clinic has been a great anchor for thousands of jobs. 

In other words is the seller or management company "cooking the books".Example.1.Taking money from another account and making the tenants look like they are paying on time and in full to show 100% occupancy.2.Giving rent credits like first 1/2 month off apartment rent,or full month rent off,or no security deposit,pet deposit,etc. to inflate occupancy.3.Retail leased properties where market rent was 18sq ft but the landlord is selling because lease is coming up for renewal and if tenant doesn't get 12sq ft they will upgrade to the new grocery anchored shopping center that used to be 22 sq ft and is now 18. 4.Watch out for pre-foreclosure volume and foreclosure volume for your area.What I mean is when a buyer purchases a distressed property for below market value they can then rent at a lower basis and still make the same or better profit than you.I have seen this first hand.I have seen rents for apartments 2 bed be 650 a month.Then a few foreclosures happen that buyers purchase cheap for cash.They come on the market and rent for 550 a month.The buyers rent low to get the best tenants to choose from and build occupancy quick.Then over time they will up the rents.What this does is put tremendous pressure on landlords already hurting that have high debt service loans.Then those get foreclosed on and a domino effect happens until the market settles.So my main point is don't count on current rent or future rent.I look at where the market is going and correcting to and buy really low so you have room in case the worst happens.This will exclude many properties.If you make great income form other than real estate and just want a tax shelter with pay down etc. then you might look at it differently.
