you are controlling the property now. dont record your deed at the courthouse, just try and sell the house now or rent it and quietly assume her loan.

If you can't control the spending, more income doesn't help a bit.The New York Times ran a piece last week talking about how painful a $500K salary cap would be to the NY bankers.

Putting the time and effort in to locating a seller/property and having no where to go with it doesn't make much sense.The reason I'm asking is because there is a water-front property in my town where the seller is trying to sell it on their own.

I'm looking at REO's in a certain town in Florida.

People in this area area also looking for large lot areas at the edge of town.

You gotta just love small towns.

In am in a small town just two miles from the big city.

I just talked with my local suburban town today and will call the county tomorrow on my plans.

I am looking for a service that will allow me to do my real estate research such as how much equity in a house, when it was last refinanced, out of town owners, ect ect.What services do you use and which ones do you not recommend?

That's pretty sweet though that you took control of the property over and over again.
