I also don't have much time to travel to another state to physically look at a property before making a decision on whether or not to buy it.  

Feel free to reach out if you need any help or have any questions during the process and get ready for the best and worst(at times) decision you'll ever make!

IMHO your helping her find a place isn't a good business decision.

@Matthew Kinch Curious your decision to hold onto this via refi vs selling it and roll into 1031 (pre-COVID)?

My point being, I think you are thinking about it incorrectly. 

Kudos for the HELOC decision.

@Gokhan Cukurova - your ultimate end goals are going to drive this decision.  

Even if you're able to prove in the small court that there was misrepresentation or some other sin committed by the seller and/or his agent, and the court sides with you, the real problem is how will you enforce the court's favorable decision?

And understand that wholesaling is nowhere and nothing like investing, despite the incorrect impression given by those selling mentoring.

Sorry for the ignorance, I just want to make sure i'm making the right decision.
