Learn what the rules on trash disposal are for that area, and see what they are violating.

While in the property records, keep an eye out for a "Durable Power of Attorney" the owner may have appointed someone to care for or dispose of the property, contact that person if there is such a document.You might just knock on doors around the house and ask neighbors if they know how to contact the owner, you might get leads there.

Just make sure you are still buying with good numbers and cash flow and not overpaying for the owner finance component.Then when the property rises in value after a few years and you are past your owner occupant live in period you could dispose of your property you bought.

If 15 year notes make you feel good and you have plenty of disposable income and RE isn't your main source of income then it is all good.I know a couple of guys (father-son) who buy just regular places like small plexes and take them to the next level with tile and granite and expensive flooring.

OR…If you dispose of a property with decreasing cash flow, but can get into another property with an easily increased net operating income, then you will have increase net worth over time.

Lender came back AGAIN and sent their asset disposal guy to meet with me.

You can also add items like dishwasher, garbage disposal, central air, the type of flooring, if you have a laundry room.

Or, if you just recently disposed of the property, can you file the Form 3115 before recognizing the disposition of the property on your taxes?  

All I have at my disposal is Zillow, which I know isn't very accurate.  

Some syndicators have a 3-5 year business plan where they want to get in the deal add value through whatever value add techniques they’ve planned on executing and then disposing of the deal once renovations and deferred maintenance and the value of the property has gone up.
