I've been looking at NC and GA recently, trying to find some entry level and easy to maintain property, but there are too many areas and it's really hard to narrow down.

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.

Any thoughts/advice for small investors trying to get into larger properties?

However, once she passes they will try to claw back what they can from the estate. 3.

Tenants don't like to be bugged so I always try to be as nice as I can when I help a client sell with a tenant. 

I try to provide the raw truth.

I'm trying to see how viable it is for him to buy a property there. 

If the separation of funds was for asset protection (in this case there was another reason), it is my belief that an umbrella policy is easier than trying to maintain separation of assets especially when the property has been purchased with individual’s money and financing.  

The owner has taken it off market and I'm just trying to explore my options of selling it off market for a deeply discounted price.  

I try to make it as easy as possible on them so that they will leave without a fight.
