Almost every off-market deal I've worked on has had an inspection. 

I used to drive for dollars on purpose with a map, crossing off streets as I covered them.I reach out to tired looking plex owners via a nice letter or postcard and try to build a rapport with them. 

Quote from @Zachary Jensen:  Hey Dan, As tax accountants and strategists, we can't self-promote on the forum.

We knew the owners just wanted to be done with it and get it off their hands.

I just asked if they can release it immediately because I need to make the wire cut off in the next 30 mins.

In our situation, if the loan gets called it doesn't seem like it would be a huge problem, as we could just pay it off and the list the property and get the equity (probably $30k to $40k after selling expenses, assuming the market hasn't dropped).Thank you in advance for any feedback anyone is able to provide on the subject of a subject-to sale with a USDA loan.JeanYou said: "In our situation, if the loan gets called it doesn't seem like it would be a huge problem, as we could just pay it off and the list the property and get the equity (probably $30k to $40k after selling expenses, assuming the market hasn't dropped)."

The property I would buy is in her LLC but she would like the dream home she’s building to be in their personal names, can she use a 1031 exchange at the end of the 3 year balloon when I pay her off and use those proceeds towards a new construction build?

Be a DON'T WANT-ER - always be willing and ready to walk if you can't get a good deal - And understand that you can always come back to that seller later and begin Second Stage NegotiationsAsk the 7 wordsAlways consider a subject to offerAlways ask for seller financingUse the Study Period Clause with right of possession to control properties without cashOffer seller participation - this is a great way to close dealsOffer something other cash - a note secured by your other equities, an unsecured note, a Principal only mortgage (using this technique you can offer more for the building since you are not paying interest - and as you know a direct reduction mortgage will pay off much faster.

I have been trying to source properties by calling on agents to ask if they have any off-market opportunities, however this isn't returning the response I had hoped. 

Wouldn’t you be better off selling the property instead of tearing it down?
