In the next 5 years, we have 2 twin span international bridge projects, a new hospital, and the expansions of the university and college.

You look for comparable sales for other distressed properties that are similar and nearby and also counter that with finished version comps so you can see what your perceived spread could be.

I would try my best to sign-up the deal over the phone.

By this point, they will have already thought about what might happen if you leave, including the need to turn over the unit and find a new renter.

New blood in the forum is always exciting.. what's your top strategy for finding hidden deals?

You just have to make it more exciting than the competition.

We have taken over LOTS of occupied units with under paying tenants.

@Guifre Mora and @Johnny Horner, I've gleaned these lenders over the course of a year or so.

Also, I believe the rules for how and when you need to divest the money in an inherited IRA differ depending on who you are relative to the deceased.

Most of the time, it should take 30 days or less if the property is properly renovated, marketed and priced.
