For example, we wanted to build a two stall garage with an accessory building on a property close to a lake that my in laws could stay in when visiting separate from house as well as an office area away from our loud kids. 

The other unit is listed as having 1 parking space but when they visit they are informed that the the easement is still contested with the neighbors.

Unless they actually visit the office, they will have no way of knowing.Anyway - good luck.

Nice place but I have no idea if it is better than Philly in an objective way.I like Syracuse since I visit there a lot.

Prior to the storm, I had been visiting on the weekends to try and familiarize myself with the neighborhoods and look at potential deals.

We are moving as far as we can but with two full-time jobs and kids, by the time we get in touch with the agent, she sets up visit, go see and figure out rents in the area to ensure numbers add up...someone snatches it.I read some investors make offers site unseen - and then inspect the property and back out during the due diligence period if we see problems on inspection.We haven;t done this and as beginners, feel rather uncomfortable with this "shoot first, ask questions later" strategy; but if this is what it takes to prevent yet another good opportunity from slipping thrugh our hands then I guess that's what we'll have to do.Regarding the "Fair Housing" aspect, we don't intent so state anything or discriminate against anybody.
