@Aaron Hollingshead - awesome stuff. would be interesting to try and figure out the numbers if you didn't have family there, and had to use paid services for that....just as a math exercise :) good luck on your next projects! 

Fun exercise in valuing properties with an expert panel. 

I believe that I had similar thinking as you @Scott Trench when I was marketing to single family houses on the tax delinquent role @ $100k each.

As for your role to be fully in effect you have to make sure to properly sign every document as Aka John Smith, manager.

I am just looking for input on how investors would feel about this deal if it was offered.I have the opportunity to buy a 6 unit building but dont have the cash to purchase and rehab the building myself.My role: I would do all the work and manage the property in this deal and distribute the profits to investors.The deal: I would offer this deal up 30k for 10% ownership.

If you still don't see how this is a terrible deal to present to a seller, imagine reversing roles for a second.  

I know two of the bigger ones are MelissaData and InfoUSA.You can try asking each municipality individually, but cooperation and ability to actually fulfill your request in the way you’re looking for will probably be very spotty and I’ve found is usually an exercise in frustration.

Better, but still not great.While trusts certainly play a role in terms of asset protection, estate planning, and sometimes tax planning, let this be a lesson to all who read that you seriously need competent advice from both the legal AND the tax side prior to moving forward with a business structure.

If you don't exercise that option, your next option is to try to purchase it as REO, if it reverts back to the bank after sale.

As Jessica said, that is more of a relationship/advisory role and a lot of time goes into identifying properties.
