Every jurisdiction is different as far as releasing eviction information but once you have the address it is easy to find out the size of the building.  

Might be worth having an attorney look over your HOA rules regarding actions by your neighbors affecting your property but talk nice to your neighbors first.

We are having trouble finding any property that meets the 1% rule, or any numbers that make sense to us for that matter.

@Tony Gallina check out this tool I found online when looking at properties.. all of this info should be readily available and easy to access for a Commercial Real Estate Broker..

At 2% Net Cap Rate - to make 100K a year - the property has to be ~5MM.And I'll need 25% of that as down payment - 1.25MMThat's not easy for me - nor very fruitful.So, I wonder whats the point of this.In contrast - if you look at flipping houses from a foreclosure - its not uncommon to see routine gains like 50K on a 500K asset.

Title companies do not cast judgments on these types of deals as long as they are arms length.. your risks are the bank gets wind of the transfer and calls the note.. as long as you have the ability to refi or pay it off.. to protect the 15k or so you going to put into it.I don't know about UTAH but there are some very tough rules in OR and WA when dealing with someone in foreclosure.. is this their primary resi or investment? 

Painting cabinets is easy and usually costs me all of about $10 and a couple hours of my time.  

So I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with their bank not knowing the Fannie Mae rules on seller paid closing costs?

I think you will find that most real estate rules don't apply in Southern CA and especially in highly sought after communities like Irvine.  

I believe it's CFPB 7/17/16 final rule, requirements are there.
