If you coordinate renovations prior to renting or prep it for flipping, you should be compensated for that work. 

I tried to get more information from them and they told me that they typically have evidence that the accounting is approved prior to closing. 

(Goal is financial independence mainly via buy and hold rentals)Basically we purchased a "fixer upper" in early 2016 for $230K.

I've read through the contract particulars more tightly since my post - and found another area that addresses it immediately: "In the event Buyer and/or Seller choose not to purchase a HWPP prior to recording, this paragraph shall serve as acknowledgement Buyer and/or Seller wish to waive their right to purchase the plan."

@Cheyne R SexsmithJust be open and honest about your goals and how you plan to operate.

Appreciation is not the goal as it’s pretty weak. 

One of best ways in the short term would be to connect with a Registered Real estate agent who shares your goals and  would be willing to search the MLS on your behalf.

Outdoor cultivation on the property requires prior written consent.

I know this topic has a lot of forum questions dedicated to it already, but my go-to resources direct mail list resources seem to be set-up differently then in the past.I have used Reonomy and List Source previously for direct mail leads with good enough results that I'd use them again, however Reonomy has just recently been forcing an annual contract instead of monthly which is WAY too costly for what I need, and List Source has split up the commercial properties list differently then the last time I used them and almost all of them are listed in "Commercial: miscellaneous" with every other property types, and I have tried filtering differently with no positive results.My goal is to get "true ownership information"(Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers of people who own LLCs & INCs), but for now this is a one time thing, so I don't need an annual contract, and I don't want to pay thousands for Co-Star for an entire year or something.I do have TLO, however pulling multiple owner's information is very time consuming, so I'd like to do this only for a few select properties.Long story short, I'd settle for any ownership information whether it's company data or not, but I'd like to do a one time deal and get 500-1000 leads.

Make sure you find somebody with like minded financial goals and ambitions.
