Good thing you can make tons of small tweaks to your kitchen to improve the overall aesthetic without having to spend thousands.

It counts the same, legally, as if you built a fort on the land and put armed guards in the fort to keep intruders off.Possession and ejectment issues are beyond my ability to explain in just this post, because it takes too long. 

You can ask for a small share of the project if you want.

If you're in contact with the owner/seller directly, and you don't feel there is a lot of competition (off-market), might as well start with an LOI to lay out terms before drafting a contract.If you need the offer to look compelling because other buyers are circling, a PSA would indicate more motivation on your part.

My contact info is in the signature of this post - you can also message me directly via BP. 

I am a buy and hold investor looking to buy a small single family home that at most needs major cosmetic work done. 

I always direct local investors to attend local REI meetings.

If it's not them directly, it's their family or friends.Who else knows the property is vacant so quickly?

In all seriousness sir, your decades of experience and daily helpful insights, direction and comments to thousands of investors and ten times as many want to be investors on here has not gone unnoticed.

Looking for any good direction.
