What are some of your best projects, past or present?

@Michelle Kozak maybe if it's someone you've worked with in the past or trust completely.

Is this something you have done in the past or are considering doing in your current situation? 

The senior pastor at our church left and we started looking for someone to replace him.

Curious if anyone has taken a similar approach in the past or ran into issues with this?

Kind of a funny answer but if you are able to build a relationship and get them talking about how they bought it and how they have felt owning it, then they will be more likely to tell you helpful information about the property and their situation.. i.e. that they got seller financing when they purchased(then you can ask them for it too), the property has never had the roof replaced, information about tenants, whether they have raised the rents in the past or not, etc. 

Why wouldn't they just sell it off to someone they have worked with in the past, or list it themselves?

Double check it with some trusted professionals, if they agree with your numbers, then I'd say go for it.. see if you can ask the listing agent/seller/whoever is connected to the property what offers they've had in the past or what was the recent activity if you are skeptical.But as one poster mentioned..if the numbers work, they work... 

It is not noted if it past or present activity.
