He has sat down with me and another investor on several occasions and does an excellent job in helping you understand the local Multi Family market.

Normally the settlement agreement would stipulate something like: you and/or the seller pay a much reduced amount of fines (I think on one occasion it was agreed a > $500,000 fine would be reduced to $20,000) to the city and the city will drop the outstanding violation, in exchange you agree that you will actually remedy the violation(s) within a certain amount of time (apply for the appropriate permits and so on).If you are confident that you can negotiate with the city and resolve it that way, it may be logistically easier to buy the house with the violations, and then resolve them aftewards (my first point)... but it's obviously MUCH safer for you to come to a binding agreement with the city prior to closing (that stipulates that the city gets paid for whatever they agreed to accept for the violations right after closing).

Hi, I'm currently not a RE investor, but have poked around the forums a bit on occasion. 

I've done it on a couple of occasions and have come out with good profit.If I can be of any assistance, just let me know. 

Be flexible too on occasion, if warranted, for the greater good.

We've never taken anything out of the company's account to pay ourselves, although we've used it on a couple of occasions for educational purposes. 

He was a master at throwing out the occasion comment and catching people off guard to catch them in a lie and prove his theories.

I also have lost employment on more than one occasion.

I've only filled two rentals on three different occasions, but Postlets gives me the best results by far.

Zero issues for my agent on several occasions.
