Will it be harder to obtain a loan? 

A bit of some background about me that I didn’t share at the beginning of this post is that I’m a soon to be CPA (waiting for my license to be issued) and I work in public accounting doing Tax Consulting.

@Jonathan Satizabal - I have heard of the Chicago Deal Vault, but I believe it's pulling public record data not necessarily pulling off-market deals

The moment a certain piece of information becomes public, it gets priced in immediately.

See IRS publication 523 

I scrubbed the list for properties that fit my criteria, double checked owner addresses against public records, and mailed.

Lighting in public areas, either on a day/night or motion sensor.

I currently hold a real estate license in NJ and have partnered up with an individual who has capital who wants to obtain investment properties.

Where I am, getting up zoning approval from 4 to 5 not easy, and requires a public hearing.The other problem is financing.

There's a good chance that we can obtain another 12-25' in width from the city (an old rail line that runs adjacent to the property).So the property is ideal for it.
