Very High minority population ( don’t judge it’s a statistical fact in very low income areas)  if you hear about a shooting or drug bust it’s probably going to be in this area .

How can I judge the market that I am looking to invest in?

IRS form W-9 (your friend has income that needs to be declared to offset your deduction).And a business check from your business account is the cleanest way.You can get manual business checks and a binder for this.And if you want to look like a big spender cash tipping use a petty cash system.Good Luck! 

The judge ruled in my favor on the basis that when a seller offers his property for sale, he is inviting scrutiny and due diligence and must suffer the consequences. 

Judging from the numbers only if this were in Alabama that would be a burned-out mess of a home that you would now be responsible for demolishing.

The seller has a problem....you have a problem...but yours can be solved in front of a judge.

I should write a book about how crazy the judges are when favoring tenants and giving them extensions.I just sold a triplex in Holyoke that was in pristine condition and had a hard time getting $249k.

That's not fair to ask the tenant for anything there and I'd bet most if not all judges would agree, even the most pro business, anti tenant ones out there!

The Will will only indicate to the probate judge what were the intend of the deceased.

They cannot legally sign a contract with you until they are legally declared to be the executor by the judge, even if the will states it.
