@Jonathan Avila Congrats on the website, looks amazing! Did you HTML code everything or have some one build it for you? I am thinking of creating a website in the near future. Anyways looks really well done.

Thanks I was trying to get it to work on my phone apparently it did not work as I thought it would. Thank you @Raymond B.  

Thank you @Bob Bowling. The property use to be an old factory. They tore that down a while back and is now nothing. As far as I can tell they property would have a terrible time with parking spaces without the property. I appreciate all your help. 

Yeah Connecticut does not offer an Online course. I thought about doing an online course and going the reciprocity route but if i did that I'd have to go to NY for the exam i believe and I go to school in WV.

@Ned Carey  We are right next to where they are building and on the other side is a lake so their only option for more parking right from the main road is use our property. @Account Closed the only impact would be more traffic and possibly lose views of the lake. I just want to get my mom in a new house for nothing even though its not realistic we can dream.  Thanks for your input. 

Welcome, I am also from Connecticut (East Coast) near Mystic. Bigger Pockets is amazing and you have everything you could ever need on this site to learn about investing. 

Good Luck in your journey I wish you success!

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post but I need advice about a real deal i guess we can call it. My mom recently got a letter in the mail and so did her neighbor from a lawyer saying someone was interested in purchasing the house. They are building a some health mall next to her house with a dentist, doctor, and a few other things. Anyways my mom called to see what it was about and they are interested in buying the house to increase parking. They do not necessarily need the property but it would be advantageous to them to have park where my mom's house currently is, however no numbers were mentioned or offers. 

My mom still owes somewhere in the range of 140,000-150,000 or so due to some unfortunate events that caused her to refinance and everything. Based on an appraisal the house is worth about 165,000. Obviously for my mom to sell she would need to pay off her mortgage and get a reasonable amount to get into another house.

My Question realistically what do you think she can get for the house? I have never dealt with anything like this so i couldn't help her but she want obviously want to get enough to get in another house. Should she try and get 3x the value seeing they want it and she will be able to get a new place for that? 

Any advice would be amazing thank you, everyone, that read this and can offer help. I just did not know what would be a good deal and what she should accept. 

My step mother started investing when she was in China. While still there she started investing in the US. She finally moved to New York and continued to invest. She loves it and glad she came over to invest however she had a friend who invests who will never invest in US property after a bad experience. It depends on the individual and experience. What ever you decide good luck! 

@Brad G.  Yeah any information would be helpful. Thank you. 

Thanks everyone. I will check them out. I cant wait to get my license and start working full time after school.
