Interesting article, I am not going to discuss my opinions, but will say fighting the US Govt is generally a losing proposition especially if you don't have enough money to close on the deal in the first place. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndin/pr/three-charged...

They could fight it in court.

I spent many nights at that property pulling weeds until late in the night and fighting snow storms so I could shovel the walks. 

I had my share of verbal fights with egotic people over me rejecting them.

From your actions tonight, I have to assume you are just a crotchedy retiree with nothing better to do than pick a fight over a market several hundred miles from your stated home base.And for the record, FOR A CLIENT, no, I would not be establishing market CAP just from "declared NOI and listing [sales] price".If a client has an interest in an asset, sales comps (no older than 90 days) are pulled showing sales price, rent rolls, & P&Ls, to determine CAP.

I am hoping to improve my networking capabilities as well as work towards the knowledge that will get me going down the road to success.

I'm clueless at where to turn but fighting the urge to give up bc I want the lot so badly. 

I'm sure the BP police will be pulling that down for invoking a fight on the forums.  

I wonder how the crowd funders handle this.. you have so many little slivers of investors in each loan.. do they do a cash call to pay for this or is it expected for the crowdfunding Portal to step up.I could see a reverse run on the bank were a portal may not have the means or may NOT WANT to be front huge dollars to foreclose.. then leaving all these little investors to fight it out.. 

This ensures they have the capability, you'll save yourself hassle at the end when asking for the 'after' shots.
