We populate our own data directly from trustees for our local market, but that is labor intensive.

I'm in need of some unbiased market research data that I can use to make educated recommendations to my primary client as to which market in the mid-west they should look towards investing in the multi-family sector.

When we were transferred we rented it out.

I find this to be incredibly frustrating when the transfer happens and I'm shorted. maybe I'm naive because I'm new to investing but that just seems like something that i can change with a new PM?

Upon transfer of the the property, it would have been prudent for you to obtain the tenant files from the previous owner or at a minimum to find out what the arrangement had been.

Remember, municipal liens transfer with the property and do not get wiped out at tax deed auctions. 

That's amazing, one of my current goals is to transfer to Hass!

I've heard that if you transfer ownership (in this case from me to the new LLC), that the mortgage company could exercise the due-on-sale clause?

I'm hoping (without any real data or precedence to back it up) that it will do good things for Woodlawn, hence my eagerness to pull the trigger on the building I'm looking at.  

The last market data I saw last fall still had rents increasing at around 10% per year on the average.
