If I was to go a few hours outside of Wichita, it seems it may be possible.Yeah it depends on what you want.  40-100 acres really has no scale to make any money off of it.Also land within an hour or so of Wichita will sell at rec or development land/small acreage prices - and not to it's true value IMO.Crap land around where Iive in Topeka in between Topeka/KC will sell for 8-10k plus an acre for a cedar infested wasteland that needs Multiple $ks worth of development or a lot of hard sweat equity to get it developable.

Removing that room would allow me to frame out a true master bedroom and even add space for a stackable washer and dryer insert. it would even give the home a bigger living room. unfortunately, the property is sitting on a crawl space foundation so I was thinking and hopefully, my mindset isn't too far fetched of maximizing the functionality of the space I have to work with.You're completely right I have come a long way to get cold feet. 

If you are looking for true unsecured lines, and you or your client have solid credit, depending on what you're looking for, PM me. 

Usually, under adverse possession doctrine the true owner have some period of time in which to come forward - usually this period of time can be quite long like, for example, 10 years.   

I hear you but even assuming that’s true and it stays vacant for a while what have you lost?

I have no idea about true apartment buildings, but I own 2 duplex's and one triplex built in 1925,1925 and 1930.  

I'm going to look into both. if 5% holds true that would not be a problem at all.

Not sure if it matters, but the whole building and all units have a fire suppression system and other things needed for a commercial building since the 1st two floors are commercial, the city made us make the entire building outfitted with a fire suppression system and wireless notification.

Thanks for the reply Justin.I'm going to see the property tomorrow and will investigate the true age of the HVAC units as well as all other major components. 

For me, having a hard time finding a deal, it almost seems too good to be true or as if someone else knows something that I don't.
