For your first one a friend or family may be your best bet (but be careful when mixing money with relationships). 

I'll bet you never imagined this when you were searching for help on real estate @Joshua Dorkin and came up with this brilliant idea.

If you have no liquidity, net worth or experience then your best bet is to find a deal that realistically makes sense and take it to a proven sponsor with the track record necessary to take it down. 

Her only bet is an attorney, if suit is filed.

I bet if someone had left him a house he would have used it to better his life, not get emotionally attached to it.  

My RE Broker/Property Mgr said in recent years investors have come to favor Section 8 as a safer bet for landlording.

Your best bet is to find a contractor that knows how to deal with the gas co. 

Your best bet would be to hit a third party API that does the majority of the work for you.

I could write pages here of all the different concerns, aspects and steps to take in becoming a Land Developer.Your best bet at this point is an educated willing partner who has the experience so that you don't fall into a money pit before you even begin to develop the property (ies). 

My bet is that if you needed to get out of this condominium or decided that renting it was not economically viable you would be stuck with it for an extended period and/or you may have to sell at a potentially large loss.
