Same areas near Hillside shopping complex(Target, Holiday Inn) tend to be B- whereas the rest of the town is a solid C+.

I'm an architect and work in the tech department of a giant construction management firm, think 1M sq ft industrial/commercial projects and the only thing I can guess that you are referring to is a 3d laser scan, which is way to cost prohibitive to do for flipping/remodeling.

A 6 week rehab has you hitting the market at Holiday time.  

Most things were fine, except a giant oak tree fell over.  

On 9/5 we went into contract on an SFR in Holiday, FL (Colonial Hills subdivision), right before Hurricane Irma.  

I am planning to be out in London during the Christmas holiday.

On the other hand it's so appealing when you think of holidays in a pool house. 

The property is near to extended family, and I want to kill two birds with one stone later this year and visit the property (for the first time in 18mos) as well as see family around the holidays.

I guess my question is whether there is good way to figure out who the owner of the property is since it's empty and not on the market.Another possible option is a distressed property, with a rehabbed interior and a sad exterior/ roof/ yard on Byrom St that has been on the market for 4 months with price drops, and up until last week had a giant tree hanging over it which was just removed.

I am not a financial whiz or a commercial giant by any means, only that I know if we sell this property, the buyer is going condo route, so why couldn't I go that route.I am guessing my biggest mountain at the moment is how could I even possibly get financing for a 30-40 unit complex since in theory we are talking in the multi millions.
