Specific suggestions could be; find a house you like and approach the owner.

I personally take the approach of separating both sides of any business I am involved in. 

If you're free this Thursday there is a BP meetup from 6-9pm at Rally Point Sport Grill in Cary.

@Michael Noto @Michael NotoundefinedWe are approaching distressed property owners and sending them direct mail. 

.- He's asking $130,000 as lowest price for the home- Home appraised for $117,000 in 2014 according to records- Current comps show right around $120,000 in his area- (Sidenote: Seller paid $70,000 for the home back in 2010)I approached him asking if he would consider a lease purchase. 

Thoughts on how to approach this situation?

One of my wife's uncles was in charge of one of the properties which is zoned for commercial/residential, it is a 1708 Sqf office space/small warehouse on .36 acre lot.Which with some research it can be split into 2 lots.He let the property go to the dump, needs a new metal roof, and gutted, replace plumbing/bathroom, replace electrical etc...Now my wife’s Aunt is in charge of the estate and she was the one who approached me.She said they will "sell" me the property for $30K (estimates from Real estate agent say property is worth $43-$53K in current condition) Which then I could clean the property up and try to resell with the improvements.Now if I did replace the roof make the inside look nice and clean the overgrown landscaping I was told (real estate agent) it could get about $60K, but there are back taxes and liens on the property as well.Plus closing cost for when I sell it, I have run the numbers and it seems that I would MAYBE make $3000-$9000 conservatively.But I am real concerned over the fact that it is used as an office/commercial, and wouldn't this limit buyers?
