I was told that homeless/squatters got access into the building somehow and they were seen by an agent who was touring property for their buyer.

Looking forward to building these relationships!

I don't see how a closing attorney has any liability in closing these deals unless their underwriter specifically forbids them and wont write title insuranceWill be interesting to see how it all plays out I think I will call the closing attorney I know well and has closed my new builds in Charleston and get his take on it..

Make sure to do your market research, budget for renovations, talk to other investors/agents, and build a relationship with a lender to secure financing and get advice.

It really depends if the previous owner screened the tenants and how they managed the building.

Steve when I do these its all about relationships.. and even then its nerve wracking..

You have enough to build a decent portfolio.

Existing mortgage experience and relationships.

You can check your building department, but sometimes you don’t need a permit for non load bearing walls.
