Front house wasn't bad, back house was a mess but I figured I got it for free.

This company was big name, in business for decades, nationwide product, BBB rated, every contractor who uses the product needs to be licensed with the manufacturer so we figured we we would be okay with 1/2 down, 1/2 at completion. 

@Gary M caceres see if water company can give you daily consumption amounts, so you can figure out when it started - may help find the problem.

So, if you want to put the real property under contract subject to short sale approval, then I guess you can figure that paperwork out.

Just figuring my way around here and looking forward to connecting. 

It will help you analyze deals quickly but you will likely need to adjust some of the figures such as rent, % towards vacancy/cap ex/maintenance.  

Probably even figure out the status of the property.

@Jeff White That's what I figured.

So I just look up what rents are and figure the more rent the higher class?

But I figured that couldn't be the case at all times because, in theory, I'd think some properties would be large enough to facilitate multiple entities. yes if you had significant acreage you could probably split the rights, which I would think would need to be like 50+ acres or so, something smaller I am not sure how it would be split if they both have rights.
