You need to reach out to a new,freshly licensed agent who is short on clients and begging for listings.They are the only ones who are willing to let you dominate so much of their time for the faint hope you get someone to bite at your lowball offers on a daily basis.The frustration of constantly writing lowball offers and never getting a response to pay their bills will get them down and they'll dump you after 2 months.Then start over with another young starving agent.

Convince her to house hack and buy a lovely duplex or triplex in a nice area.She gets pride of ownership,you get an income producing property at the same time.

Raj G. ,all you can do is either offer cash and moving assistance to the current tenants to get them out on time or offer money for a hotel and storage to the new tenants to keep them from leaving you with an empty property after the idiots finally vacate.To me it's better to get the losers out and the new people in on time to prevent hard feelings on the new tenants.Discuss the situation calmly with the current tenants ( no yelling,no threats) and show them there is a better alternative than to keep the new tenants from occupying their new home.

Power of Attorney dies with the patient.However,if the escrow was basically finished and every document signed by the power of attorney holder prior to death,the court will agree that the sale shall proceed and the proceeds go to the estate for distribution to the heirs by the administrator of the estate.Get a lawyer and petition the court to carry out the last wishes and legal desires of the decedent.

Find a good lawyer who offers free or low cost initial consultations and get some sound legal advice from people who actually know what they're doing.Mr. Internet is not a good place to seek out legal advice that could possibly set you up for financial failure.

Sell it to the neighbors and get your money out of it before you discover something worse wrong and you have to eat a huge loss.Don't hesitate,just do it before big money headaches start manifesting themselves and destroy your financial investments.

Find a hard money lender for transactional funding.Do all of the due diligence by taking pictures,getting it professionally inspected by a contractor,figuring out the after repair value,and taking it all to a hard money lender for approval of funding her price.Complete the purchase entirely and then resell it for a profit to a real flipper before the next mortgage payment is due.

You're the listing agent and not the owner,correct? The decision isn't yours to make,it is the rightful owners of the property who must decide whether to get a kick in the teeth or not.Is the owner wealthy and not concerned over the other empty properties you haven't filled yet or are they breathing down your neck to get the rented? Personally I would never accept 1/2 rent because they will get used to your charity like feeding a stray dog and they'll decide to stick around until you evict them.Tell them nicely it's time to downsize into a smaller dwelling before his savings and credit are destroyed.

He needs to file a petition with the court to be declared the owner due to being a surviving spouse.I don't think he needs the full probate case that takes 9 months because he is a spouse with community property privileges and not her children.Could be wrong but,I don't think so unless of course her family files a legal objection to his inheritance.

I looked at it on Zillow and boy is it ugly and out of date inside.The home is only twelve years old but looks 25 years out of date.The kitchen and bathrooms are cheap and ugly,it needs better paint choices,laminate flooring and nice tile for the kitchen and bathrooms,new appliances,tiled shower instead of plastic,and new landscaping.Combine that with a bad foundation and too many nearby homes for sale in better shape and it's easy to see why this turkey is rotting.The bank is calling the shots so I would make out a laundry list of repairs and upgrades it needs and present it to the bank with an offer of maybe 110k and challenge them to argue otherwise.
