In today's reality with the formation and implementation of the CFPB and all kinds of publicity about investor and mortgage fraud, to the point that even some circuit judge in the flat lands of Kansas or hills of Arkansas is aware of the new laws, they will be looking at your deal.

Note the concept of equity applied as a credit to the borrower after the sale, it goes further by allowing a borrower to show the FMV over proceeds obtained at a public sale. :)

If direct mail, or you sending to the actual owner, via public records?

We are on the french border and arround 200k french ppl cross the border everyday to work in Geneva.On the housing front, only 17% of the ppl are house owners, most of the houses are owned by private and public pensions funds.

The only time the bank took so long with one of my offers on a highest and best, I only found out it sold when it hit the public records as sold, for thousands less than my offer, which really baked my noodle.

I need to find out the average costs associated with this type of business..As I said I am just kicking around this idea and wanted to get additional input and feedback from anyone who may or may not have experience in this type of venture.Commercial RE is not my Forte and the thought of trying to find a commercial tenant every 5 or so years is not that appealing to me so I Thought if I can turn the space into my own business that kind for the most part run itself it would be a win win situation.I welcome thoughts and or things I may have overlooked.p.s. this business venture assumes the area is good and there is not another similar business nearby.

It's public record and they should be able to either give it to you or they may have terminals in the building that you can look it up yourself when you're there.

Make the move....trust me when your daughters become teenagers they will need their own space.
