Why This Matters: A Cultural Heritage Endowment Leveraging Time for Economic GrowthThe purpose of this initiative extends beyond creating affordable housing or financial returns—it’s about leveraging time, the most valuable resource, to create enduring cultural and economic value.

If I don’t hear from you in the next 10 minutes, I will assume you aren’t attending and I will move on to my next appointment.Using this system as dramatically reduced any wasted time I used to endure as part of the showing process as well as giving me data about their timeliness/responsiveness/respect for others' time.I often schedule several viewings at a time, 15 minutes apart. 

But after enduring my first construction loan gut renovation, along with a couple of other partial ones, this issue has been one of my primary mental obstacles. 

He was in the marine corps, he was one of the first people to invade Afghanistan during operation enduring freedom. 

I would need to know more specs on the house but with material shortages It's difficult to say how much to budget. 80K-120K for full gut perhaps but unsure with lumber beings so expensive and shortages.I would plan 9 months of vacancy between the pain you will endure pulling permits & having your contractors show up everyday to complete the work & then final inspections to get a CO. 

Lastly is structures, and to be honest I think we'd probably have to move the needle $100k or so on that item because I have a feeling from what I've seen thus far is these structures are not of the most durable enduring type and I will have some considerable cap-x over 10yr window on them.

You'll need good contact info for them to be able to collect, and ideally the new address for the tenant however which if you don't have can probably be found easily with some online sleuthing/ contacting their employer, skip tracing software, etc. 

I would offer 90% of the market value. if he sells it you with no agents he is saving 6%~ on real estate agent commission and the other 4% is a convenience fee in that he dos not have to endure showings etc. and you will get better pricing on a non-owner occupied property if you put down 25% is compared to 20%.  

Other than perhaps property taxes, turnover is generally the biggest single operating expense you will endure as a buy-and-hold real estate investor.

I've come across a couple of properties that seem to be vacant and through some internet sleuthing I've determined that the owner is absent.
