@Joshua Logan I'm out of the Mankato area, we invest in Section8 apartment buildings (Project Based HUD properties).

At this stage, based on your post, you would wait until its listed then contact the listing agent to purchase it.

Establish the value based on your own market analysis.Your property is a rental once it is placed in service - typically the date it is advertised as available.Check your home owners insurance policy and make sure it covers rental operations - I expect it does not.

Other than a post or two on social media I haven't done anything else for lead generation and to build a client base.

We have about 50 properties under management in Kissimmee and Davenport, and can definitely help you with a step by step guide based on our experience.

It will cost approx $4000 to remove the Oak tree based on a professional estimate.

The Unilin 2g locking system is one of the most efficient ones on the market.I 100% agree the the subfloor/ underlayment/ substrate being attached to as well as how  it was attached to the builder floor(naturally we're not talking cement) is usually the problem in a failed installation. 

Make your offers based only on what works for you, not what it takes to get the property. 

We may need to make another trip to go check that market out.No worries, if you ever want more advice on the market , I am happy to offer some of the knowledge based off experience.  

There is also that provision of what if I think its like if all or but just one of the units is empty (I forget the exact nature or term, but it can be restrictive).Its this a purchase or refi?
