@Jeb Brilliant Were you able to get taken care of? 

I’m trying to buy 2 family house that is Currently a old day care center and the CofO is listed as Community Facility so the process to change back over here in new york could taKE up to 6 months to year plus Architect is giving me a Estimate of 100k.

Remember, youre letting someone into your inner circle to teach you and to take care of you.

Some care about "doing the right thing" for the deceased owners and others see no benefit. 

Here are some recommendations for you:Read Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingCheck out BP Podcasts: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastIf you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select the name of that person which should appear below the comments box.

If he refuses to pay anything, give him the deposit and move on because he's cared for the home and is giving it back to help you sell it, so that has some value.

All they care about is how much money they can make and what's the downside if the project goes south. 

Be careful if you offer.

I was having trouble picking a location and kept bouncing back and fourth from a select few places. 

If anyone would care to elaborate.
