I would agree with @Jeff Burdick as it will be a bit difficult to find for under 200k but we can work to identify areas and properties that fit your needs

Now, if both are owned by the same entity, you might be able to write an offer identifying both parcels for one price.

It's important for a couple reasons, including the landlord's obligation to identify where that money is being held and that it is indeed in a Trust Account.

We have identified quite a few properties that meet our criteria.This is my first post to BP so thank you all in advance.

Deanna you obviously do not operate as a mom and pop landlord.Mom and Pop owners do not want to identify themselves because they are afraid of the responsibility.

Identifying viable assets is truly the easy part, the real work comes into play with the systems and teams to fill & manage the tenant process to ensure long term success and mitigatge vacancy issues.

But you should easily be able to identify fees from 2 or 3 different title outfits to see if it is common what they are charging. 

What are all expenses you have identified?  

All of the properties I've analyzed seem to some work (more than lipstick on a pig) but I am avoiding the total gut properties Is it worth making initial intro/grab coffee to meet the new GC before I have a property identified?

In MN were required by city before rental license is issued to attend Drug Class to identify, and know when to issue a non-compliance with the Crime Free / Drug Free Addendum.This helps enforce and we are able to file for cause with this,, I don't need a police report or anything else. as long as I took the class was certified by Police Dept I know what the odor is and how to handle it if it's a problem along with other drug use that was covered..
