In Illinois, this will cover the cost if they dont finish the job..But in your situation, as @Natalie Schanne mentioned, it's going to be hard to get the money.

I was thinking of the website in reference to what some of you have mentioned.  

I used to do thousands of them back in the day for banks, insurance companies, asset companies etc.Haven't done it in a long time.The experience I can mention is the person you are wanting a value from doing  a bunch of BPO's already or mainly selling properties and making a commission?

I don't see anywhere included with my taxes where an election was made, not to mention he never asked which one(s) we may be using this year.Then there's the subject of being a "real estate professional." 

Louis area...A few mentioned being on lists, which is a good idea to do, to see what is out there.

@Guillaume Fortina yes, FHA allows 3.5% down with a multi-family unit property, and those Fannie/Freddie types you mention allow 3% down. 

You mentioned you purchased directly through a seller so I am guessing no agent was involved?

R,Jairmiya  Hi Jairmiya, Have you looked into areas in the midwest to get the kind of returns and unit counts you mentioned in your post?  

As mentioned above, doing that with an investment property is not likely.

If you sell even with the gains you’ve mentioned your commissions and selling costs would probably eat that up and you’d likely break even at best.You’re right about this not being a cash flow rental.
