We bought a park a year ago that had roughly 45 occupied (and paying) tenants, several abandoned homes, and dozens of empty pads, with a total of 107 pads.  

I will like any help with abandon manufactured homes.

I noticed a home that had that lack of someone in it look today. Found out the homes occupant died and had no family according to the neighbors. No one even claimed the body. In fact, neighbor had the key and did a to...

I tracked down the commercial property that he abandoned, photographed it, then got a property profile from a title company.Here are some numbers:The gentlemen bought the property in 1988 for $160,000It currently has a tax value of: $825,553, so my guesstimation of its real value is around $900,000 - $1,000,000 +It shows one mortgage at $125,000The zoning is C2It's about 65,000 square feet (1.49 acres)Here is my plan of attack:Talk to my private investor, and get a signed referral memorandum ensuring a finders fee PRIOR to me discussing anything about the property.Hand the deal over to my private investor and let them hammer out the deal.Only when all the numbers have been worked out will we discuss my finders feeAdd my referral memorandum into escrow as demand for paymentThis would be my first deal, so I feel it would be better for me get my finders fee and then watch it from the sidelines- while learning of course!

Now you have me wondering what the outcome was for the second story in that article regarding the abandoned building. 

Roy this is not a fantasy story - the abandoned town was sold by the Canadian government for 1CAD to a private investor - this is a fact - it was an abandoned town that had been in permafrost until climate warming freed it.a great deal of the appreciation in local markets is due foreign investors - who come for their financail safety and/or who need to invest a large X amt of dollars to be get the investor visa/residency to stay in Canada - the flight of HK Chinese had started pushing up values in Vancouver as early as the 90s, the influx of Mainland Chinese hasnt stopped.
