@Devin James My bet is on that they close. 

You could put in a range of numbers for purchase price and closing costs, renovation expenses, and expected returns and you could very quickly get a range of projected return on investments (although an excel spreadsheet could easily do this as well), but I'm sure as technology develops we will see even more sophistication in AI's ability to assist in deal analyzing.

If the market value mentioned above is accurate and the “initial” loan balance hasn’t increased by rehab funding, I wrote above that the proceeds are just a couple million after closing costs and commissions.

Just before closing, they decided that they didn't want the property with the property lines in the new walking trail that is coming connecting Mt.

I do like the idea of a check and when she pays closing costs ($515) for the title company and I'll pay attorney fees I'll have her write a check and get a copy of it. 

This allowed us to close quickly and focus on adding value.

Saw some new building going on around Lawerenceville with high asking prices..close to L.A prices it seems.https://www.redfin.com/PA/Pittsburgh/4618-Carlton-...

Without having much info, I would need to know the financial situation of the 'close family' to determine a best approach.

We picked up the home for a large discount as the estate wanted to close the deal.

I must second what Account Closed stated.
