How long should one wait , & how should I approach it, so I just send a letter , I really don’t know this sounds horrible to even ask, it’s just that this is a property I’ve always wanted, & a opportunity has possibly presented itself , so I’m looking for tips on the best approach without coming off like a episode of American Greed 😬

@Ray Loveless - For a flipper, from a TAX standpoint, if you hire someone who you pay more than $600 to in one year (not a corporation and not via credit cards) and you do not 1099 them, then your whole expense ($4000 cost of painting) could be disallowed OR you could get a $500+ fine for failing to 1099 properly.

@Richeline LoweI am an American but I am living in the Netherlands for a few years.

At that point you could turn it into a corporate rental. 

Amazon’s made a huge push into corporate hospitality over the last couple years and some of the custom workflows I’ve seen for creating guest FAQs that the devices can respond to without bugging me or requiring additional pages in a physical house manual are appealing, something like VCS or a custom-designed audio FAQ.

My goals keep changing with the situation and I keep them informal; I have had to set and achieve goals all my corporate live and I kind of enjoy now that I can adjust the goals on the fly. 

My area is seeing a lot of corporate purchases and the competition is heating up.

In one of the best-known studies illustrating this particular human vanity, in 1981 161 driving students in Sweden and the USA were asked about their safe-driving skills, 93% of the American students considered themselves above-average, while only 69% of the Swedes did likewise.

Make sure you read up on all the legal issues on Fair Housing, Comfort / Companion animals, American's With Disabilities Act, etc. 

Is there a local American notary they can get ahold of?
