Be very clear what you want and what you are trying to accomplish so they get a clear picture and you get an accurate reply.

After doing some diggin it turns out their "variance" states that this property is a 3 Family because of a third kitchen (A past tenant was illegally renting the basement and put a kitchen in their) Without losing my cool I gathered as much information as possible...tax records, listing history, pictures of 2 separate electric outlets, boilers etc..I also brought my offer up about $5,000.

Take a picture of it before you hand it to him.

Let me know if you are interested, we went down there in February and have pictures.

Just trying to get a picture of what financing you're talking about.Can't get conventional loans here if you've got over 10 mortgages.

So in other words, theres no way the state can really prove if I'm receiving rental income or not... and neither can child support.I've tried showing the court my kid shouldn't be living there, I've shown them pictures of their garage that was being supported by a 1980's van thats been abandoned for years, pictures of the concrete stairs that are falling apart and my kid falls on them all the time, the house is drafty because there's no siding etc... they all live like scumbags.

It would be cool to create a BP moderator logo and picture for ourselves that we add to our websites and link back to BP.I have a couple of custom websites being hand coded now for each of my niches that have taken 3 months but are getting close to being done.

Third, you get to do a final walkthrough with the tenant in person, so everyone knows what the place looks like at day 1 (and take pictures)Sorry to go off topic here, but digital formats always have the potential to be tampered with.

If so, perhaps you may want look at the overall project and the costs and timeline involved, especially what options are available for a construction loan ( the tear down and removal can be included if negotiated) and if the time and costs justify the end results, just to make sure that you don't over-improve and spend more than the market value of the improvement would make, if no emotional connection to the land, might be better to sell as-is and let another develop, lot of factors to consider, have a few contacts that you can ask, so you would be able to get a larger picture of time and costs.

When we bough it   it was true trailer trash and exactly as you described 82 yo widow whose husband started it and they ran it as there family income for 30 plus years.. by the time I came into the picture they were just about ready to lose it... ( which is when I usually come into the picture)  of the 14 existing MH that were all park owed..
