I’m most proud of walking through my grieving process after the loss of my husband early this year and still venturing into real estate after, bending up with three properties and a piece of land to close the year.I’m proud that my head is still to in spite of the number of times I want to crawl into a space of fear, pain, and doubt.

Both should be 20% max.Tax can be grieved based on your purchase price, so if you end up buying it for 60k, when grievance time rolls around (typically in May) you can reduce taxes for the following year by 40%.If I were to do the numbers assuming rent is $1325, they would be:Vac  106Maint 132.5CapEx 132.5Mgmt 132.5Mtg 228Ins 60Tax 280Cashflow $253But as Mike Borek mentioned, if the ARV was 100k and asking is 79k and all that's needed is paint and carpet, it would have sold already for someone to fix and live in or flip.

They are grieving.

They target the homes of recently deceased and the grieving family.

That is the number one thing people need who are grieving.

On the one hand his family is grieving and I don't want to add any difficulties. 

You definitely want to know if they are motivated to sell prior to going but I would not totally rule it out...it's your choice but I do understand why most investors do not send to the grieving spouse.

I think they're still grieving from the showcase Thomas Walkup put on against WVU

Especially some foreclosures that would be great steals but the Taxes on the property that a bank wont start the grieving process on are very high.

refinance would end up costing the grieving widower well over $100k if he sold!
