Your insight helped me stick to what I and my realtor knew was right.

Any Advice helps thank you. 

Also, while we can show records of median list price and cost per square foot, those are not necessarily helpful in determining future appreciation because factors such as new home inventory can skew these numbers.

I am investor myself, but I’m now diving deeper as an investor friendly real estate agent helping others build their portfolios.

Every day is an amazing experience  helping investors and clients find the right property. .

Since it sounds like you are working without a real estate agent, I would contact a lawyer to review the contract and help you notify the seller's side correctly to terminate the contract and release the EMD.

looking longterm who knows what's going to happen in the market.The largest thing to be cautious about is that with commercial tenants you as the owner often have to put up money in the form of a check or abated or free rent to help the tenant get open for business and build out the space. 

I'm happy to help where I can.

Real Estate investing has changed my life and I plan to help others do the same.

Any information on this process or your experiences with tax deed sales would be so helpful, thank you in advance!
