we were trying to pick up property to start an indoor training facility for Fastpich softball and baseball.

In the notes section of the contract, I add the following wording:Title will be taken in the following name(s) and style: The ABE Corp. as trustee for the SomeWhere Street Land Trust.On the settlement statement (private docs), the buyer is MapleStar, but on the public docs, the owner is ABE Corp as Trustee for the Somewhere Street Land Trust.  

465 arv - 40k rehab * 80% rule (so.cal style) = 340k offer priceThat's a what I would use.Do you really need to evict?

A personal home is a life style choice not an investment.

Also, the owners may not respond to a regular letter, but they might respond to a well crafted attorney style mail or Urgent Notice regarding "xxxxxxx san, antonio Tx)

We run similar style groups. 

the areas I buy only has 10 or 15 different style houses.

It's not my style, because I'm a designer and very picky, but it works for lots of others.  

Most of the houses on the same street are dated,  with bigger square footage and different house style.

Condo fees are really high, apartment rentals are high compared to Montreal and there isn't a lot of duplex/triplex styles for sale.
