In the investment property we bought a massive modern original piece of art from a local artist for around $200 and it complements the antiques.I like to read interior design magazines then replicate the look for as cheaply as I can while maintaining some quality. 

If any other suggestions on how to better approach I thank you.

I was curious if anybody has tried or had success putting together a package deal to buy both/all connected townhomes where the units have different owners.How did you approach the different owners?

I've been contemplating approaching agents that I know in states that require closing attorneys to see if they'd be interested in marketing the legal service to their clients to use for closings and beyond.

Many brokers and agents takes on all clients and then see what STICKS and makes it to CLOSINGS.I think that's the wrong approach.

There is a property here in ft lauderlade fl that is about to be offer in a tax deed auction, it is in a good shape. but it has like 300,000 in code violations:1: FBC(2007) 105.1 -- PERMITS2: FBC(2007) 105.4.5 -- PERMITS3: FBC(2007) 109.10 -- INSPECTIONS4: FBC(2007) 1604.1 -- GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS$123,300.00 NUISANCES SPECIFIED. $182,600.009-280(H)(1) -- FENCES/SITE WALLS IN DISREPAI: $31,100.00This looks vert scary i want to know the line of action.

I am new to RE and have been approached by one of my 'partners' with information regarding a possible property that is up for sale.

Appreciation applied can be a fairly linear approach.

I've been approached by an asset manager I've used to get incredible 50% ARV deals for the past few years with a small Chicago package.

At the same time you're doing #1, approach several Hard money lenders.
