You mention the owner has paid $70k on the mortgage but that isn't a number that matters (since who knows what interest rate he's on or if he's made any extra payments), what matters is what the outstanding balance is on the mortgage and can you offer them a purchase price that is A) Fair to the owner, B) Helps them sell with some amount of equity and C) Gives you room that it financially makes sense.The numbers change based on if you want to flip it or rent it, making the question "does it make sense" different based on the direction you choose.In short, I have no idea how much I would offer...

I have a nationwide referral network.

However, whether the lead inspection itself was legally challenged anywhere nationwide? 

If you were looking for "safe" cashflow and ROI, would you look at a triple net lease with a nationwide brand as the tenant in a stand alone property?

There's a house up for sale but the owner currently has an outstanding mortgage loan.

I would think her book would be applicable nation wide but it is limited to her state, so further investigation and due diligence is still warranted. 

The outstanding mortgage with interest is $175,000.I have been considering offering 100-125k for the building, but without a tenant upstairs, this only increases my costs --- at least for the next four years.

I eventually want to go nationwide and have 1000's of buyers.How can I find so many buyers?

Shay, As you read others post on here, there are a couple options in the market for your project.We have a nationwide program that will portfolio and cash out with 30 year fixed rate.

We have a link to a nationwide clearing house for investment properties.Regards,
