There is a 4' tall chain link fence  on the property line which separates my driveway with his.

Echoing what @Andrew Beauchemin said, you can find out owners of buildings by looking at property tax records on your county's appraisal site. if the owner is a LLC (which is usually the case for larger multifamily), go to your state's secretary of state website and look up the business in the business records search. i'm not familiar with pennsylvania, but that's how every state I've looked at before operates. there is usually an agent of record who oftentimes is the owner, however, for a larger, more sophisticated owner, it could easily be a lawyer or someone else.if that fails, a broker is your best bet. they'll have the relationships with owners and other brokers you need. as others have said, it's hard to go off-market without a track record, but maybe by showing your current portfolio and explaining your desires, you may win someone over :)

Hi all, I have my first few leads lined up and when I call sellers to negotiate I need an idea of what my bare minimum wholesale fee should be.

I bet you can get pretty good eye's on some areas of Huntsville using Google Maps.

The bank might go up to 85% of that $400,000, but if you don't have the income or have too much other debt, they might only approve the line up to say 70%.

However, I'll bet it will come up when the property is finally sold in a more conventional sale.  

Am I supposed to have a hard money lender lined up before putting offers, or do I contact lenders after I get a deal accepted?

I've included that placement fee in the management line item.

Hi @Bill Tmore...Yes my firm sells on the secondary market and refunds lending lines once purchased.

While we were at the property last week, a neighbor came over and said his property line runs right up next to the house.
