If you are series about trying to get the golf course I would contact the owner (easier said then done) or talk to the city to see what actions or pressure they might be able to put so that the course could be clcleaned up.

The properties are in Upstate New York about hour away from any metropolitan city.

It's such a rock solid neighborhood -  16 min Metra/30min Blue line to downtown, 94 and 90 access, bus terminal, and a disproportional amount of city workers with good incomes and families.    

We turned a dilapidated bakery into a 2 bedroom condo in Kansas City.  

I have a career (of 5 years) that allows me to move freely through out the US in typically larger cities and pays well.In the recent times I've found that the CO market near me is insane.

I am looking to get in touch with developers of multi family units around the Quad Cities!

My girlfriend and I are looking to rent in the city and my plan is to purchase an REO or foreclosure while we rent, obtain a 203k loan and rehab the property during our rental tenure.

It's the only available land of its size inside city limits with all utilities available.

Basically that is coverage that an insurance company provides in the event you have a covered loss to part of your property and when you go to rebuild you have additional costs due to bringing the property up to current city or county codes. 

The problem is there isn't much multifamily properties in these areas (probably because they are kind of outside the city).
