Hard to answer your specific situation, but I was talking with a guy that has invested in a ton of deals since the early 2000's and he had 11 capital calls from 2009-2012.

Go to the county property search website, there you can find the owners' name(s) and mailing address.

I have been seeing a lot of information regarding how to buy over previous business”s and would like to expand my knowledge on how to most effectively do this.

They are highly skilled, highly credentialed, and that means they're highly paid).Depending on the cause(s) and solution(s) to the problem, the property may need to be vacated--now you've got an empty property that's bleeding cash, and not bringing in any rent.

I am using Dave Meyer's 10% Target spreadsheet to analyze our first deal(s), and I love it.

The most ATTRACTIVE short term rental markets WILL have the most regulation (example: SF, Hawaii, San Diego, other coastal cities, etc.). 

Cashflow may be minimal but rates will go down eventually, and at least in Coastal FL, values will go up (even higher). 

I sanded and used a stick down liner for now but I'll just tear the whole thing out at next turnover.

The main contacts are you, your contractor/s, and the adjuster assigned to your claim.
