Remember that notes are NOT real estate no matter how much sellers will convince you of that otherwise.Pricing nowadays is ridiculous so as Chris mentioned gurus will often cite examples of buying at 50 cents where more often than not on public websites like Paperstac you will get assets sold to you at 70-85 cents. 

A nonconforming use is a use of land, buildings, or structures that was lawfully established prior to the effective date of this ordinance, or any amendment thereto, but which does not conform to the regulations for the zoning classification in which it is located.Nonconforming uses may be continued subject to the following limitations:a) No nonconforming use shall be extended, expanded, enlarged, or moved to occupy a different or greater area of land, buildings or structures than was occupied by such use at the time it became nonconforming; provided, however, a nonconforming use may be extended throughout any parts of a building which were specifically designed and arranged for such use at the time it became nonconforming.b) No building or structure devoted to a nonconforming use shall be enlarged, extended, recon­structed, moved, or structurally altered unless such building or structure is thereafter devoted to a conforming use; provided, however, such building or structure may be enlarged or extended upon prior authorization from the Board of Adjustment, which authorization shall not be granted unless the Board of Adjustment makes each of the following findings of fact:1) The proposed enlargement or extension shall be de minimis in relation to the existing building or structure.2) The proposed enlargement or extension shall not increase the intensity of the nonconforming use, which is to say, it will not result in an increase in dwelling units for a residential use nor in gross floor area for a nonresidential use.3) The proposed enlargement or extension is designed so that it will not render the use of the property any less compatible than it is in its existing circumstances.4) The authorization of such proposed enlargement or extension is not otherwise contrary to the public health, safety or welfare.c) A nonconforming use of a structure may not be changed to another nonconforming use unless such change is authorized by the Board of Adjustment.

If the seller and the boss are still on good terms maybe the PR can be obtained but it may not be easy or fast.

Including the highly publicized Springdale Green.

This has given me confidence to expand on this strategy, such as how I purchased my duplex and other public company investments.

I am supposed to close on a property in 20 days and have asked my agent to obtain this letter, his response is -" We won't get them back until closer to closing, you want that information to be accurate when ownership is transferred."

I've been obtaining a lot of information, and I have considered purchasing a duplex with a FHA loan and living in one side.

Here's a simple example (because I'm a visual learner lol):Assumed ARV = $115,000Purchase Price + Cost = $45,000Rehab Costs = $35,000All In Costs (total above) = $80,000 financed fully by a HMLBut then the appraisal comes back at $100,000 and you're only able to obtain an 75% LTV, meaning you'll only cash out $75,000.

I’ve been involved in the sale of property when probate was involved a handful of times, and to my knowledge they were able to obtain 100% of the proceeds.

You just posted evidence of your intent to discriminate on a public forum.
