My sister happens to be a realtor there so thats how it piqued my interest.

My sister in law got a large alimony grant in a divorce and her attorney didn't stipulate how it was to be paid  and instead of monthly over a period of years as expected, her husband gave her a lump sum and she paid a lot more in taxes that way.  

To add pictures click here:My sister lives in Vancouver across the water. 

Point is something can usually be worked out, and in this case maybe she does want to sell to her brother to avoid family strife, but then maybe he is only interested in making a buck for himself and doesn't really care about the house or his sister and just sees an opportunity.

A year later, an heir who had partial ownership back when it was a vacant lot, pops up and says his sister forged his name on the deed to the builder (which apparently happened somehow), so your house is on my land, pay me.

It was a very long process and I'm sure I don't need to detail out every step here, but I asked Jerry a multitude of questions along the way, as well as my sister, who is a Realtor here in Shreveport.

My sister in law attempts to sell Mary Kay, I think it's similar to Avon.

My sister and I have just started an LLC to do flips and buy and holds.

My "uncle" ( not related through blood ) who has no next of kin except for his sister and children. ( my uncle and his sister have absolutely no relationship, and he has no relationship with his nephews or neices )Wants to give me his business and the land it sits on.

It turns out that this new member has a sister that is also on BP, and the 2 of them are looking to get into real estate investing together.A few emails led to a discussions over coffee and may now lead to an investing partnership in the near future.I didn't get the opportunity to contact the two new members south of the border as another new member from Vancouver had introduced himself on BP and we also got together this week for coffee and a long discussion on investing in the US RE market.Thanks BP for expanding our network and bringing a bunch of like-minded people togther!
