After the buyer found out he could not get the city / county to permit building on it, he sued and won. 

I am curious to hear what other people have done to find a property owner who is interested or how you got one to be interested in doing a MLO.I have been making phone calls and have found some individuals who have stated their interest in moving forward so there will be more to come with that.

I'm brand new to real estate and have found a four plex in my area that I believe could be profitable but I don't know if you finance multi units the same way as single family homes?

Hi everyone, I just found out about a potential deal that is off the market.

I found a similar group online and put in a contact request through their contact form on their website - you guessed it - crickets.

The best I found was a 15 year fixed.

I found out about BiggerPockets during a Real Estate Meetup Group in August.  

My wife and I were working with a realtor who found the deal, but it was her first transaction and totally botched the whole thing, won't go in to details but at the end of the day she didn't want anything to do with it but still wanted her commission.

I would definitely recommend checking out the blogs, podcasts, and setting up keyword alerts for specific things that interest you (i.e. duplexes, multifamily, va loan) - that's how I found you, my keyword is "Virginia Beach".Where do you plan on returning to when you separate?

I researched the hot tub option.First I found out that the 98% of the competition didn't have them and may place already stays full without one.Second, I talked to some people that have them and they said they wish they didn't have one or didn't need one to be competitive.If you do you have you need to have a contract with a sauna company to do the maintenance to minimize your liability.I would the a pool would have the same issues applied to it.So if you don't need one of these to be competitive them skip the headache.
