Tom, I think you're sitting in a gold mine- good luck!

I joined BP to learn all aspects of fixing and flipping, how to start an REI business, finding properties, acquiring investors and financing, etc...I am currently a Retail Manager for a major supermarket chain and looking for opportunities to grow my wealth for the near and long term future for my family.  

Hi Ahmad,Occasionally Loopnet has Gold.

Be a Bird Dog for awhile until you figure it out, then climb the food chain to be a wholesaler, then Buy-FixUp-Rent/Sell.3.

I did some more digging and have unraveled the chain of mortgages and releases and what not.

If you're already investing in the Lincoln market, liquid and are an end buyer (no wholesale daisy-chaining), then please send me an introduction.

Don't be a motivate buyer, stick to your offer, if they don't like it they can counter offer.Remember it is you who are willing to take over the responsibility of that property, it is you who will suffer with tenants, taxes, repairs, mortgage payments, housing inspectors and all the other stuff that makes our life miserable as investors.If he does not like your offer, change the terms; 100% owner financing, delayed settlement with right of possession.Subject to and contingent on flipping the property before settlementMake an Hybrid Offer; this keeps the seller in the profit loopOffer low, assign low and do it oftenDon't forget the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rulesIf he doesn't like your offer, too bad, you offer is one that should satisfy your profit position.

NO ONE WILL GET BACK TO ME AND I KEEP GOING UP THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMANDS AND I HAD SOME GREAT CONTACTS IN THERE BEFORE THAT USE TO GET BACK TO ME.

I believe there is no one way to do real estate investment, really depends on your skill plus luck & timing to bring it together and there are many ways to this food chain. 

I don't know if you are aware of this but when it comes to environmental issues, a plaintiff can pull in anyone on the chain of title.
