If you do, keep in mind that selling, without paying off the mortgage, violates the due on sale clause.That means if your lender finds out, they can make you pay the remaining amount of your loan if they want to or they can take you to foreclosure.

The house is paid off and clear, but her brother owns 50% of it.  

I was presented with an off market deal in Hammond with the potential to rehab it and add another bedroom, so I am trying to size it up as well and see if its worth it.

So, with no foundational knowledge of real property, and no capital, his only alternatives are (1) “bluff” the homeowner into thinking he has the money and intent to close the purchase himself and or convince the homeowner he has an extensive list of cash ready interested buyers (“partners”) with whom he’s done dozens of prior deals or (2) pack up shop, write off the money invested in mentoring to a worthless investment, and decide IF real estate is right for home.  

I am trying to see if a home has an exterior shut off for electrical --- this is all I found.

off market. self-representedd How did you finance this deal?

We were able to get seller credit to help off-set the cost, but now we have heard of some people getting a free roof with the installation of solar.

Now I'm left wondering whether it's best to lower the price to get the property off my hands asap or to make some costly improvements that will probably neutralize any increase in value.

I've also explored manually blocking off the calendar, but this requires constant attention and work. 

to do it right you need a pretty big plot 5 to 10 acres and the cost of said in a great location usually makes them financially not feasable thats why top golf has taken off.. they can spend 50 million on a facility because it generates some pretty good revenue.. never looked at it from that stand point I suspect they are a public company..
