@Yoram Aharony Curious if you got your administrative troubles sorted out with Cenlar?

The neighbor seems to think that the previous owner just added it without getting any sort of permits or approval from the city.

I have been out Driving for dollars and have found a few obvious vacant properties that I myself would like to purchase to flip. As an agent how is the best way to approach the owner? 

I found out pretty quickly that it all depends on what sort of options are laid out on the table.  

So, for the experienced buyers out there, did you look at properties before proof of funds or did you at least talk with a commercial lender first and get some sort of commitment? 

If you borrow money now on a property you're closing on soon you'll have all sorts of costs, originations, etc.  

I'm very glad and excited to connect and to share thoughts with great investors and professionals at BP during my initial stage of learning to become a real estate investor.I am currently having a full-time job and am not thinking to quit too soon, but I will try my best to be active at BP and to be motivated in real estate investing at spare time.I'm kind of a little bit indecisive of which strategies would be the best for me to start with among Wholesaling, Buy-Rent-Hold, Lease Options and Buy-Fix-Flip.Do you have any suggestion or advice?

It was a good first cut and dry kind of sort of first deal.

Very motivated and hands on worker.

We set up an appointment to go check out his house as he says he's motivated to sell and doesn't want to go through a realtor.
