Option # 2 May pay out as low as 25% of your claim cost.So on a $50k freezing pipe claim, option # 1 gives you $50k, option #2 gives you $12,500.Not sure a freezing pipe claim can he that high, but you get the idea.

If it needs to be converted, can he just pull the necessary system permits (splitting electrical, HVAC) vs going through a complete build permit since the space is already a finished livable space?

Or can he just hold us in limbo until he decides to notarize this document?

How can he wholesale it on the MLS?

@Matt Dickens Brian is right.I see a lot of this as a respect issue, if he doesn't have respect for himself and his time to organize it so that he can provide quality service for his customers, how can he respect his customer's time and jobs?

Hi BP,I have a friend of mine bought a land through tax foreclosure auction...he bought it without doing any due diligence ahead of time, anyways he found out its a very small lot and worth nothing if he is trying to sell.The appraisal value is $12k and he paid a bit less but no body would buy such lot on the market...somebody told him to donate the land to the city or the county or some sort of organization that helps people and file it on his tax return as deduction. my questions are: 1- Any suggestions who to target to donate the land 2- If he donated the land can he file it as a loss or deduct it from his tax refund at the end of the year...he is entitled to pay some capital gain taxes on other properties he sold so this deduction will definitely help.3- If point 2 is doable will he be able to file based on the appraisal value $12k?

Can he make an offer on the lot before he finds the money, and if so how?

Yes, with court approval you can. He

Can he spray with minimal prep work?

Knowledge can he;p on negative thoughts.If you are thinking about purchasing use that place is in an area of high demand, has a growth in population and jobs, and will have easy access,  close-by amenities with walking distance, and has no restrictions by the City that have been approved that may reduce your planned income.
