Will be ineterested to see how the progress goes.

@alex @Alex Silang another approach you might want to look at is reaching out to successful commercial real estate investors and seeing if you can help them evaluate deals, markets, etc. in exchange for either a) a salary or b) equity in the next deal.

please vote for the folks who start these threads that cause us to re evaluate how we do business. 

Just not sure how to calculate that and evaluate it if it would be worth it.  

If the property owner and property management company, after becoming aware of the concerns of neighbors, take no action or ineffective action, then I will evaluate whether to make an offer to buy the property (at a discount) or what I can do to shield my tenants better or what code violations need to be reported to the city/county.

Whether you move forward in your search for a new deal or with this one, you are making progress towards your goal.  

What should we look for when evaluating a property?. 

Like how to even get in contact with the absentee owner (I know of mail but I'm a good communicator and rather deal with these folk the route of calling them) by phone and then the whole evaluating the deal (good deal or bad deal or ARV).

How often you are checking their progress?

@Kim Book , how are you progressing toward your goal?
