Did my case go to trial? 

Under a full guardianship that means we are untimately responsible for everything, income, expenses, housing and medical decisions, taxes, debts, mortgages, wills and estate planning, suing or being sued, investments, real property, unique asset liquidations like oil/gas leases, coins, fine art, notes, cars, foreign real estate, boats, wine, financial exploitation investigations including forensic accounting, criminal and civil trial testimony and recovery of funds when we are lucky, budgeting for liquidation of assets in order to fund medical and care expenses, (I could go on for hours); basically everything you can think of in your life... imagine someone else having to do that for you because you're incapacitated.In my work I'd estimate I've been involved in the sale of 300-400 properties, maybe 100 probate cases and many hundreds of guardianship and DPOA cases.  

I'm going to trial it now.  

@Daniel BujakThe approach of incorporating and offering shares (either voting or preferred) to money partners/investors comes with its own trials and tribulations.  

So I have a basement that used to get water issues, and I FINALLY got that taken completely taken care of after two years of trial and error (and money).  

In fact if it goes to trial by jury the plaintiff could be awarded some pretty hefty punitive damages at the end of the day.

When they, that is the seller accepts your "trial offer" do your home work, call the pros in that area to give you an opinion of value.If there is equity potential, great, if not, make a lower offer, if they don't accept it - move on.If you think there is about $10,000 or more potential profit -  now you need to work to realaize that cash - get it assigned as fast as possible.First you need to have a proper contract that gives you the right of possession, right to assign and to market by private treaty or public auction.

My girlfriend is doing her clinicals there for med school, so I'd like to buy a house there for the next 18 months, then rent it out.

For some reason, probably due to negotiations in the bankruptcy proceedings, the mortgagee sent my tenant an offer for trial payments on a loan mod being done under the Home Affordable Modification Program. 

Also I did a dummy trial of of a flip and I saw on the right side it showed expenses: exterior, interior - is there away you can manage that and put numbers in there?
