They may not allow the square footage of the street surfaces to be included in the calculation, they may not allow set-backs to be used in the calculation and there may be requirements for open space.

Sqft is a minor adjustment after the rest of that.

I'll shoot you a PM with the details but it's a great set up for me

For the last couple of years, I have been doing so much research (never enough especially for beginners) and have a mind set for buying and holding.

Here are some good places to start: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet- find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!

It's www.offeruphomebuyers.com. sleek website but obviously no traffic which I'm ok with since I just wanted to have a web presence in case anyone asks.The first set of mailers (1350) went out 2 weeks ago and I have only recieved one call and that was to remove them from the mailing list.

My advise.... stay focused, save some money, and INVEST in real estate - long term buy and hold is the path to real wealth - take your time and set your goals on buying your first rental property - as an owner occupant if possible.good luck

Once you find the owner of the vacant house then you need to set a time to visit the property to see the condition.

Buyers and sellers can agree to anything,,, then the bank and its appraiser sets the real price it'll trade at.  

The home has an large unfinished space that is set up to be the 3rd unit.
