It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

If you took DIY possession, was it legally allowed because the property was abandoned, or was it illegally obtained and doesn't mean anything when it comes time to file a quiet title lawsuit.If legally abandoned, that means the owner is gone, has no intention of coming back and no intention of ever doing anything with the property.

@James Wise MICHIGAN UPDATE: new law went into effect January 2, that landlords can no longer discriminate on tenant income source.

If so they may have a real estate license or they may work with an agent that relies on repeat business rather than a one-off purchase. 

But I understand where I’m at now, and am willing to work for free until I can provide such value.A little about me.

I truly hope this all works out for you.

Just want to mention that sometimes it works out better to raze an existing property down to like 2 studs and rebuild around it so that it still is classified as a remodel versus a complete new build. 

I suppose I could update it to work on real estate, but I am no AI expert.

Now we are in 2025 and although I still own the trucking company, it has been an inconsistent pit that has technically brought me personally no profit.

We have a 28 unit hotel we're currently working thru the process on.
