From there you get the person's name, the address (sometimes), the parcel #, and a few more bits of info.

In addition, you need to address any of the inspection deficiencies which could be 0-Thousands so condition would matter to this number. 

Hope understanding that discouragement is sometimes just a side-effect of working hard on a worthwhile project can help you get past it.Good luck to all of us on this real estate journey!

Look up the owner's address from the tax bill, overnight them a letter.

But if you have a list of address, owner's name, and date of recent eviction, I'd love to discuss.

Would this effect the property value by decreasing the income I could have had for this unit or could rehab be considered a years rent for tax and property value purposes? 

Aside from the differences in ideology, I find the discussions stem in part from the underlying premises and the syntax used.Basically if money should return at least 10% on average, the leverage camp [which I'd consider myself] more or less views a return below that baseline as effectively "negative CF". 

As well, an inspection 'should' uncover any issues / damage and can be addressed in the PSA vs doing it after contract and used for 're-negotiations'.Good luck.

When I address FSBOs I'm coming from the investor standpoint to purchase their property through one of the above mentioned strategies.BUT, if they don't like those options, I can always be put on the back burner for a traditional listing when need be!

What would be the most cost effective way to build as many possible units?
