My only concern is legality, and I just want to be sure that the mechanics of what I'm doing are correct, whether it's wholesaling or subject to.I understand the principles behind each technique, but the last thing I want to do is mess the whole thing up with ignorance.

Does anyone have experience with buying commercial property with an auto mechanic or body shop on it already, from foreclosure auction or anywhere else?

Section 304.5 of the Uniform Mechanical Code states, “Fuel-burning equipment shall not be installed in a closet, bathroom, or a room readily usable as a bedroom, or in a room, compartment or alcove opening directly into any of these.”

You need to do normal due diligence as well to make sure their are no other liens i.e. mechanic liens etc. against the property that do with the deed.

If you hinder your defense mechanism Rich, I would love to find an answer to this, which is my ONLY purpose in my responses in this thread.

Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing or concession but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market's reaction to the financing or concessions based on the appraiser's judgment."

So anytime any work had to be done to plumping, run phone/cable lines etc. the ceiling had to be damaged to gain access to the mechanical's of the house.Also, it was carpeted and about once a year in the spring moisture would seep into the basement and I would have to be diligent to get it dried up or otherwise it would cause mildew/moisture issues.

I tried the cheap route, I ended up paying more because that cheaper mechanic used a non factory part.

If the wholesaler is using a double closing or some other mechanism to hide the actual fee from the seller then I have a real problem.  

Maybe going to a trade school and learning to be a plumber or auto mechanic or dental assistant is a better fit.
