I am just not able to do that, by the way, I am a landlord also, and this past year we had a tenant move out on us also, same reason, lost his job and could not afford to live there, I got over it, people need to be more a little more understanding.

Also understand that if you are not a licensed RE agent you are legally not able to make an money in a referral situation.

The listing also indicates that there is a structural damage but they didn't indicate it yet - I was not able to notice anything major but I am not an inspector.So my question is:(1) should I submit an offer with my highest and best bet (w/o waiving the inspector contingency - that would be crazy) and hope to get accepted and then make my decision based on the inspector's findings?

I bought vacant office space and was not able to rent in the two years that I held it.

I was told by a rehabber that it is illegal, but am not able to find any information supporting that claim.

As Jon indicated, it will depend largely on your market and target client base, but your preference will also be a factor.We remove carpet from our properties the first opportunity we get - they're filthy things ... like having a giant lint brush attached to your floor - and replace it with a hard finish surface.  

The CEO/owner (don't remember exactly) made a statement that they had to spend so much time/energy/resources keeping up with the ever-changing regulations that they were not able to focus on what they actually do.  

That could waste alot of time and money if you are not able to secure the land.I would recommend putting those as contingencies in your offer, then once secured, start that work.

I've noticed a real uptick in complaints about this lately, but that's purely anecdotal.PPCPPC, or pay-per-click online advertising, is the newer kid on the block, although it's been growing quite a bit due to some prominent adopters (notably Sean Terry, the guys at We Buy Houses, etc).PPC has two fundamental strengths: speed and objectivity.PPC is one of the fastest marketing channels there is, and it's raw speed allows you to launch into entirely new markets in around ten minutes or so.

I believe there is a way to get it done without the previous owners that are not able to be reached.
