@Brett Hearn Here in Canada we don't have legislation similar to Dodd-Frank, but I do take some of the consumer protection steps that are recommended in that act.

We moved from Reno to Cincinnati to be close to my family and I now work for my mother and step father as the Handy Man for their 20+ door RE portfolio of beautiful Victorian's.

https://www.chicagobusiness.com/commercial-real-es...A court-appointed receiver is taking another big step in his push to sell off a portfolio of local apartment buildings tied to an alleged Ponzi scheme.A broker has already lined up buyers that have agreed to pay a combined $7.7 million for six South Side multifamily properties owned by affiliates of EquityBuild, a Florida-based real estate firm accused last year by the Securities & Exchange Commission of running the Ponzi scheme, court documents show.Now, the receiver, Kevin Duff, is asking a judge for permission to put a dozen more EquityBuild properties—11 on the South Side and one in west suburban Maywood—up for sale.

I want to offer them a cash buyout, but I can’t figure out a next step.

What should our next steps be?

That's why removal of affected items and deep cleaning of all surfaces is the first step and most critical.

The seller/investor, I imagine, could easily ask the other one when they meet & find out but this seems more of a hassle because its one more trip, one more step in the process.

I would appreciate a step by step processes especially if the property is out of the state I reside.

I’ve been listening to the podcasts for about 6 months now and I finally feel that I’m at a place where I want to take my first steps towards purchasing a property.

I am listening and reading everyday but want to get involved what is a good step besides looking on MLS and working with a Realtor to look at properties?
