I tried to find the best category to put this post in. I feel as if this is it. There is a house near me sitting on its on lot. the house is nowhere near finished. only the frame of the house is complete and it has been that way for a few years. I checked the county records and it is set up to have a 3 car garage and a in ground pool. I found the owners and i would like to contact them and see what is going on with it and why they stopped building. the property is easily sitting on 1 acre of land! I guess the questions I am asking are, could this be something to look into? what steps should i take from here? I at least want to find out what is going on, is there some type of letter or something i could send out? Has anyone ever done this? Looking forward to your responses.

I would suggest going to the county website where each property is located and going to the property appraisers site. Most of the information you seek should be public record. If you could drive to the actual county building would be great as well.

Good luck!

Wow, that is amazing! I am trying to secure my first property as we speak and this encouraged me to keep going! I know I may not get the same results but, I do plan on profiting! Very fine job!!

wow!, some very great responses! I appreciate you all for your advice and knowledge. I am going to pursue this deal! and I will definitely keep you all posted! thanks again everyone!

Stanley Okazaki which explains why he keeps dropping the price. I figured he was a wholesaler because he said "he needed to get mor inventory." Thanks!

Also guys I was informed that the price has been dropped from $67500 to $62950. And the seller will take $1500 earnest money and we will be able to close next week. Even tho I don't have the $1500 I just thought that it was worth mentioning.

Stanley Okazaki the address is 450 16th street, winter haven fl As far as the owner occupancy I'm not sure. I set an appointment to check the property out tomorrow morning. The realtor informed me that the title company he uses has the title free and clear.

Alex Zokan thanks! Which is one of the reasons I left the privatemoneygoldmine site alone. I didn't feel safe there. He seems legit so far. It's been really tuff to find someone to work with let alone lend to a first time investor.

Bill Hinshaw I should have asked those questions as well. I sent him the comps and the deal and he jumped at it. And I asked him what I needed to bring to the table and all he said was the DD fees and we'll split the profits 50/50. I took it as all I need to bring to the table is $2500. So in guessing that I should find a lender that's closer? This institution is from New York. Nothing in stone yet with him. It's been hard trying to find someone to partner let alone finance a deal for a first timer.
