I have no direct contact with the listing broker/agent.

You might also want to contact a title company like Fidelity National Title (https://www.fntic.com/) that has local offices in the area and speak to a title officer about getting insurance and may offer some basic tips.Anytime a property even starts to go into the very early phases of going bad (from N.O.D. to ultimate auction/REO status) just go with the mindset and assumption there ARE title issues and it should be one of the first things you look at before buying ("Is there an unquestionable clean and marketable title?")

so how is everyone getting the contact info for something like 519 broadway, llc?

Really trying to find a contact at BlackstoneWhat is the name of the hedge fund or equity funding association

I certainly had no contact with section 8 personnel and was paid by the property manager.

You have to make hundreds or thousands of contacts with potential sellers in order to get one deal to the closing table.I don't disagree with Kyle.

Tell the bank you and the tenant want the tenant to sign the note as guarantors, to guarantee the note and pay the note from lease payments in the event something happens to you.Any bank can have a string of guarantors, they don't need to qualify, it simply gives the bank more people to go after in the event of default.The protection for the tenant is that in the event payments are not made as agreed, the bank can then contact the guarantor for the payment.

Later, the property owner contacted me saying she was pissed I did not get her "permission" to build the fence.

After contacting the bank's attorney and doing my due diligence at the courthouse, I did a few drive-bys of the property, and all seemed well.

I'm here to play nice make contacts and learn from the community.don't be a cowboy and play it safe - moving too fast is what destroyed many investors years prior - personally I'm a huge advocate of buy and hold.
