They are in very good condition, all on brick foundations and considered "real property" but the A/C units are approaching 12 years old.

Or maybe look at a potential foundation issue if there are cracks.

Then when I searched for that legal code I found at https://law.justia.com/codes/s... for South Carolina""(A) A person or private entity shall not knowingly obtain or use any personal information obtained from a state agency for commercial solicitation directed to any person in this State.

If you did 5% down ($15K) for a $300k mortgage, you'd pay $11.4K for the CMHC insurance vs $8.4K for 10% down plus interest (which varies depending on how much you put down).To build on Theresa's foundation:  There was a time where the "better" interest rate through an insured mortgage justified the insurance premium ... in our low-interest rate, stagnant environment of the past decade, that's no longer true.  

Or does a poured foundation have horizontal cracks? 

Do I pour the footings/crawl space foundation first prior to demo.

Once you have built a solid foundation of the different types, classes, CAP rates, numbers, metrics and language of the business etc. you can hunt for properties and opportunities.The best way to find off market commercial and multifamily properties is to compile lists through a paid service like list source, Reonomy and CoStar or you can use free resources like Loopnet, CREXI, CBRE, Craigslist, tax database, brokers, property managers, title companies, multi family inspectors, appraisers, landscapers and other companies that service commercial and multifamily properties and driving for dollars.The real key is in how you approach the owners and then the follow up.

The hope being the problem was not because a sink hole in the foundation.

I believe this is because all the downspouts along the back of the house are disconnected allowing water to just flow along the side of the foundation?
