Here in Canada, the process is well defined and requests can be made though any police force (national - RCMP, Provincial - QPP, OPP, NF Constabulary, or local) or, in certain situations, though specificly designated agencies (those who perform digital fingerprint services, or those who can perform name-based checks)

@Joshua WomackPrivate money is generally highly attractive.  

So I upscaled this renovation in anticipation of future improvements to the neighborhood, and in hopes of attracting better tenants and higher rent.  

I'd imagine the numbers on these properties are not attractive enough for prospective investors to make a move.  

As someone who primarily funds loans from CMBS, agency, and insurance companies I think this info is on point.Despite turbulent capital markets, roiling from weakness in China and a downward spiral in oil and stock prices, borrowers at the onset of 2016 have an abundant array of attractive financing options available for acquiring or refinancing multifamily properties.

There are agencies that work to attract business to particular areas I am sure West Palm is the same, locate the local agencies that already have a rolodex of potential buyers and see if you can structure a deal to intice these businesses.

I designed my own software to do this that's based on the system I developed and use.  

If the leases are shorter and expiring could you structure a lower base rent attracting tenants with profit share in your favor that would cover your bills and allow you to capitalize on the type of risk you are investing.

(they are good prosepcts to mail to alone with expired listings, commercial property owners, folk in tax sales and for sale by owners.So,  you designed your mailing piece (with all the right words; all cash, as is, fast settlement etc.), you stuffed the envelopes, you licked stamps and sealed envelopes and you carry all that ready to mail stuff to the post office to be delivered to your targeted mailing list.NOW ----- you wait for a call........... and you wait...... and wait...... and now the phone rings!

I just have to figure out how best to approach the expensive city of LA.I can help anybody here with questions about cabinet making or kitchen design.
