Actually hats off to the admin here for building something great out of invision power board.

The Giannasca Group was supposed to renovate it for $120 million and convert it to a 197-unit condominium tower but hurricane Katrina destroyed that.There is no one in there and it seems like its invisible because there no one fixing it or even worried about it.

It's also possible that the seller paid closing costs so the buyer had to have less $ up front or some other such arrangement that would be invisible to you.   

Yes @Ned @Ned CareyundefinedI taught his theories in college.Doubt it's the same Adam Smith with the invisible hand, a real name or a spoof, I don't know.

My method was to drive by the properties and yes it takes time and see what was in play, and if it was a pretty house I knew my chances of buying were slim If there wasn't an invisible problem in existence and they would 98 percent of the time just list it with an agent.

Am I totally invisible?

A double closing makes your invisible to the seller and buyer.

However, if you seek advice and are selective in lending that equity it can be as you invision it.

I absolutely charge a fee for me taking on your deadbeat tenant on some BS lease (instead of mine).A repair markup (like it or not) is totally normal but the key is they should be getting you pricing 10%-15% below market so their markup is invisible and doesn't cost you anything.A $65 renewal fee is a godsend because you must be dealing with an inexperienced PM.
