I received a phone call from a seller.

Give a call to Templeton W with T Group.

Then do your leg work, look at other local listings, call them and see what they are offering. 

I'm actually interested in staying in your airbnb, i don't know Tallahassee, but its calling me...the cottage thing, quiet neighborhood, are you near a national forest? 

Are you allowed to approach the homeowners (by call, mail, etc.) if they are issued an NOD?

That said, MFHs are rare in this area, and usually pretty expensive.I could try squaring that circle by mailing/cold-calling existing MFH owners, taking on a rehab, or buying a DC/Alexandria townhouse and converting it.

You can call any insurance provider and they can give you an estimate though.

Chicago has an outstanding housing stock that consists of duplexes, triplexes, and quads(or two flats, three flats, and four flats as we call them here). 

I don't really have a support system (hence i've been on my own since age 14) so I go out seeking opportunities on my own, and calling various people for advice. 

I'm hosting and often bring my lawyer's perspective with me to the conversations.We do "Best Deals" and worst deals (we call them "Bad Beats") episodes, and some contract forensics/deal post-mortem episodes as well.The main idea is to learn from both successes and failures.
