Also may I suggest another web site called historicproperties.com that has listings of many properties across all fifty states that introduce available residential or commercial buildings for sale.

I bet that weeds out close to 80% of all applicants!

I bet you could "Trade-Up" that into a bigger deal that cashflows MUCH better.

Best bet for an out of the box structure or flexible structure will be the local banks or a private lender.

To find "pre"-foreclosures (NOD and pre-NOD), your best bet is to purchase names from a list service.

I have been looking for a house for myself to live in lately. and i came acroos the dream, evrything perfect for me, it appeared that the builder ran out of money, brand new but never finished, the states web site listed it as owned by a bank, the previous owner is also listed, is this the builder??

I bet if you offered a good return on an owner hold you may be surprised at the response.They can only say no or shut the door in your face:)

Being that the criminal's brother took his stuff out, I would bet that he only took the good stuff and left the rest.If you do need to go the eviction route, his lease doesn't matter.

That's an extra cost.Then, there is loan origination costs the first-year.All that being good news, I'd check an RE agent for neighborhood review and ease of rentability on the neighborhood.those are just my personal first thoughts but i bet other pros here will have more to add :)congrats!
