Sadly As a result the person doing it is Usually broke ,unskilled and doesn’t Even understand the paperwork and documents involved .they drank 6 pots of coffee and watched Grant  cardone speeches for three days straight so they are just plain willing to do whatever it takes to make any money in real estate .

I follow Grant Cardone on youtube.

I was looking into the FEMA and Florida grant programs, but they all appear to require a Non-Profit or Government sponsor.

Keywords: Woodlawn, Englewood, Pullman, South Shore, Bronzeville, Washington Park, Auburn Gresham, Deering, Burnside, Washington Heights, Hyde Park, Greater Grand CrossingNot section 8, but have you looked into placing tenants through All Chicago [gov't grant based] programs?

If at this point the borrower's attorney requests an additional 60 days to come up with a bankruptcy plan, this is usually automatically granted by the bankrutcy court.The attorney for the lender can ask the court to lift the stay allowing him to foreclose.

The city is giving investors/developers whatever you want to call them a $50,000 grant incentive if you allow a tenant who is making X amount annually to rent your space at market rentsYou don't have to and go about it yourself and build something fancy and demand whatever rent you wantAt this current time you cannot sever the lot.

The solutions I have so far:Option one: Calling and talking to the bank myself to explain how quickly this can be resolved and hope they will grant me written permission to make the repairs.Option two: Make these repairs on my own, then play dumb like I have no idea how it happened.

If not what you want, do you know the re-zoning process in your area (and how willing the zoning board is to grant changes)? 

For the most part you are following up based on the permission granted by the other party so you follow up on whatever your purpose for contacting them or them contacting you.

@Steve B. take a look at this post from an experienced BP member, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/NNN-dealThey are talking about a cap rate of 6.5% being good, now granted the property already has a tenant, but there is a reason for that, you could buy this property and no tenant would ever come or they wouldn't be paying $150k per year.
