Lack of Volume: The Landbank is not the only entity with properties, there are a lot of wholesalers like HS Property Funds who have great deals, HUD Homestore lists deals, Fannie Mae Homepath, Freddie Mac Homesteps, you can reach out to other investors etc, many of you will already know how to drum up deals and invest via whichever marketing method or group of marketing methods you like to employ.Lack of Contractors: You have to have a good contractor, even the biggest contractors can only do so much and you need one that understands what it is like to work with the Syracuse code office, understands the market, is efficient, and can get the property within the standards of the Landbank.Bad Property Management: A good property management company can make or break your investment portfolio.

What's the most efficient way to get this done? 

And of course BP and their books for RE.Not worth paying an advisor unless you get into some complex situations, are trying to get maximum efficiency on tax situations, or have some really special needs (ie: large windfalls, etc.).Good luck.

That being said, there is different work involved getting it set up and running it efficiently.

CPAs and wealth managers incentive for learning about the accreditation certifications and signing the letters is that he doesn’t want to lose clients.Anyway, third party accreditation services are low priced and very efficient, you should have no problem.

I know there are more efficient ways, But I am able to make a trip to the court house easily.

People care about their time, getting the right information, trust it will be done, and efficiency.  

(I’m planning to go to the courts) yet I want to find a faster and much more efficient way.I still have not been able to find an official website that lets me know if a person is deceased. 

Is tankless electric water heater efficient enough to heat up the water for shower/dishwasher/laundry. 

Here are some of the options we are considering:1) Keep the system basically as is, but update it for greater energy efficiency. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.
