(29407). beautiful crime free area minutes from downtown Charleston and beaches. prime. my mother will sell the property to me for 50k. i found a builder that can build for 170k. so my understanding is that my mortgage would be 220k if im not mistaking. im trying to pay my mother through the mortgage. i need to know the best way to play this because there is going to be instant equity but i know there is a better way to do this. just not that educate yet. a better way to leverage it. shooting for 3 bdr 1.5 ba. thats what is was before the fire. built 1971, 1275 sq ft, appraised for 250k year before fire. need help. there are two houses in the neighborhood of our rental property that are not on the market yet. numbers on them look great. appreciation potential, equity, and great location. owners willing to work with me. i can really use this potential equity for these great opportunities. we have saved nearly 20k. need some help. wwyd???
