Here's a strategy to try.Go to your local library (or their online portal). 

On the Lis Pendens for this house, there is a local real estate broker listed as a defendant alongside the homeowner.

I was hoping a local bank could help but they aren't very good at returning calls apparently to get free money from me haha. 

Since you won't be local- it may be worthwhile to use a property manager.

@Mark Albini Google some of the California projects I'm always seeing on the local news here, you'll see how elaborate they can be, The only ones I'm seeing get done with zoning changes are the ones that have some sort of Non-profit or charitable component.

Thanks Hitanshu - I just financed a 4-Plex and went with a local credit union.

I was afraid and called local fire station and they didn’t do anything and then I called insurance they suggested to get help of any water restriction and insurance will take care.

Get to a local meetingTHIS is how you start :) Good luck 

For example, I put ads on digital billboards here in Tacoma.

I am looking for property management recommendations in the area, and would prefer local managers, but am keeping options open.
