Some houses/areas need one, but you should try to remedy the situation with passive solutions first that keep the water out of the basement first.

Long story short, looking to use this as an intermediate solution before a home/land purchase.

Problem:These properties seem to hit the market with either offers already on them or “under contract.” ( I potentially missed two opportunities that I went to place an offer after 1 day of being listed with ratified contracts).Solution Attempt:- I now have what i believe to be a more knowledgeable agent after moving on from my previous two.- I have canvased the area calling on properties with for rent signs if they had them (approx 12).

Solution.....have no idea. 

If it happens to be Realist, it pulls from mostly the same database as Listsource, but Realist has very few criteria to use to get results, and does not include demographics data (like age), etc.The chances your MLS offers the same access to building lists as Listsource, or other modern solutions, is pretty low.

Creative Property Solutions ran by Mike Mendkoff has been offering financial opportunities on Bigger Pockets. 

Give me solutions instead of warnings.Originally posted by @Patti Robertson:Banks have no responsibility to disclose that it is even in a condo community.

Anthony:It is not clear what your goal is and the solution must reflect your end-game.You say the word "deal" twice in your note, but the MLS listing indicates "no renters allowed" in the community. 

Are there other possible solutions besides my grandparents selling the house?

Doesn't have to be anything super fancy, but a meeting once a month or so for local investors to get together and discuss strategies and solutions.
