But the tough part is that we don't know where to look online to verify that the county/ city would permit us to conduct business.

I do not want to take advantage of them but want to help them as well as help myself at the same time.Any thoughts to how I can work this where it will fairly benefit both parties involved with low risk for myself?

Hey, @Ashanti Kouna  Welcome to the party.

Consulting with a third-party management company in the area can also help clarify these assumptions.Creating RevenueMultifamily investors are always looking for opportunities to increase a property’s revenue and create value.

Over 90% of large multifamily purchases are made through syndication.The parties at the forefront of a syndication deal include the sponsor (also referred to as the general partner, operator, or syndicator), the limited partners (or passive investors) and the property management team.

But everything must be arms length, IRA owned can't do any work and must use unrelated third party for any improvements/repairs.  

A land contract was written by an attorney and signed by both parties. 

The part I am still working through is that they clogged the line (the line itself is fine) and the water had to then back up somewhere.

It all worked out for both parties.

You just want to make sure you aren’t providing the opposing party with a slam dunk.
