Literally a buy and hold investor in San Diego would have made some key mistakes (such as not financing the unit) to not have doubled their investment on a buy and hold purchase from 4 years ago.  

She ultimately went in a completely different direction...literally-the addition is now out the side which maxed out 16' wide. 

Professionals drill (two feet or the longest masonry bit available) into the hole every 24 inches around the exterior and interior (if the basement is not finished) perimeter of the building and spray the chemical into the hole.After you have sprayed the chemical in the hole patch the hole with cement so the rain doesn't flush the chemical out.

Ask him what's the lowest he would take to get it off his hands today, and work from there to get the number to a place that works.However this does not sound like a deal at those numbers at all...unless there is literally nothing that needs to be done (that's rare though even if it's something small, small things add up), then $520k sounds like a good price for a flipper.
