@Aaron K. Down payment is reasonable but the interest is really high and it’s a 30 year.

I've been wanting to get into REI for sometime and I've came up on a possible duplex but it's owner financed. What are y'alls opinions on a duplex for a beginning property and also on having it owner financed?

Thanks for the advice! I’ve tried the cash for keys route and she just fails to respond. I think I’m just going to have to wait till the day it goes to auctions for the taxes.

@Michael Albaum thank you for the advice!

Hi everyone my name is josh. I’m trying to look for some advice on a situation me and my wife are in. Long story short my wife’s grandmother passed away 2 years ago and left her home to my wife’s older sibling and aunt. The older sibling ended up getting life in prison and the aunt moved out of town. The house has been vacant for a while and I looked up the taxes on the appraisal district and saw they were delinquent and the property hasn’t been kept up with. So we want take over the property. The sibling in prison signed the power of attorney papers for the property over to my wife so there’s no problem there. When she reached out to the aunt, the case was very different. We told the aunt we would pay the delinquent taxes and all the attorneys fees and the deed title transfer fees. We would even mail all the paperwork to her ready to sign and be notarized. Well she immediately said no and made it clear that she didn’t want the property at all and had no intentions of paying the taxes or keeping up with the property but she didn’t want to sign it over. Any advice?
