If they'll insure the title, I'll generally take it.Its probably cross collateralized if its two lots and one loan, but you wont know until you dig in some. 

I usually put my sign on cross st.,  but not directly in front of the property.  

My fingers are crossed that this generates more interest. 

Cross your fingers that they just haven't moved out because they'd be homeless and haven't found another place rather than they're just vengeful and clueless.

Can you give us cross streets where you were looking?

Again, this doesn't necessarily mean it'll take that long, but at least you have some info.....you might get 2+ years at the current assessment.....fingers crossed!

Hi, I have the comps and pretty much all the data on the houses, is there no way to cross check them for validity?

Someone who's charging you that amount of money to learn this business borders on being a thief.  

Hi Account Closed While it is good that your friend recognizes that is best to hold the property other than in his personal name, which avoids 30% withholding taxes from gross rent, and 10% upon sale of the property, I strongly suggest your friend consult with an accountant and/or legal specialist who is experienced in cross border setups for Non US citizens.  

Like all races, it is he who crosses the finish line first not the fastest or first off the starting line.
