I started listening to Bigger Pockets not that long ago and been learning little things here and there. Okay my mom owns a house with her brother, sister, and a sister-in-law (One of my uncles passed). So four owners in total 2 want to sell the house and 2 don't want to sell. I was wondering if there is a way they can buy out the other 2 who want to sell their share of the property. I was thinking since the house (400k) is paid off can they refinance the house to get their share of the property money the 2 who want to sell pull their money out. Then the 2 who want to keep the house but there's a share of the people wanting out for 100k so it becomes two owners so the house is now under joint tenancy. How would the process work?

Leodardo,
If the two that want out do not want to be on a mortgage, then:
1) Sue and Sally sign RE sales agreements for their interest in the property for $ x each.
2) Joe and Jane sign THE sales agreement and agree to apply for a mortgage of $ 2x in Y days and close with Mr Lawyer in Z days.
3) Joe and Jane agree on how the title is to be given at closing.
IMHO this should be a legal document stating how future disposition is handled. That is a LLC, LP, Trust, Recorded Contract, or some legal entity so the situation does not repeat.
