Is it worth pursuing a possible adverse possesion claim if I can't get the church to agree?

Hopeful for some advice on some actionable steps to take right now to get me this God-send of a property.

Is there a "step-by-step" guide / checklist to follow to ensure you have all your ducks in a row?

We have a couple leases renewing, and it’s time we stepped up and officially paid someone to create a great Colorado specific lease.

If someone would be so kind as to just give me a simple step by step so that I know what to research I would be forever grateful.

That should be spelled out on the certificate of insurance they present you before they step on the property to do any work. 

I am wondering if I can pursue any legal action against this property management for mishandling my personal information like this.

I'm not here to start a political discussion but it is against some core "republican" beliefs to step in like this.

You need to talk out everything in advance, and have it written into an agreement.While you are still figuring out if you want to pursue this, I would start attending local REIA meetings and talking to everyone there.

Yes, a quick cosmetic flip is the answer but in most markets right now, that is no easy task to find.If you do not yet know how to estimate rehab costs, then I recommend you learn that step first as it is one of the two most important items you need (the other being knowing how to evaluate the exit value (ARV).
