Is that better done via email for a record of the conversation, or is a letter better?

The 23 single unit owners are all mostly investors (Tax Records) and only 2-3 of them are homesteaded, per FL law I would have to give them their full buy price (which is far below market, but I would still be giving them market price ofcourse). 

Checking the title records seems like a good idea.3.

The best way to get private money is consistently do successful deals and build a track record of success.

I contacted the original owner, and that's the story she gave me.I called the local county Tax Assessor that they redirected me to the local Land Commissioner because they don't keep records of taxes that's been overdue for 3 years.After talking with the Land Commissioner, overdue taxes for the last 4 years is only $380.00 but only the original owner could pay for it. 

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

You'll usually need some sort of guarantor that will not declare bankruptcy the minute something goes wrong; too easy to do that in an LLC.Once you have a track record, private money folks will lend to you, and on larger properties (large MF) commercial real estate banking looks almost exclusively at the property.Spend some time researching the financing options.  

It doesn’t take a whole lot of experience...just good organization and communication.
