We used to do a lot socially which as the years have passed has dwindled but do still make time to have a meal together now and then.

If that’s still a stretch, BRRRR properties in places like Rochester could be a solid backup plan.

Not planning on doing title insurance since we have owned the house for 50 years and we just did one at date of death.

Real estate just like stocks and other strategies requires intelligence and a plan.

I have not yet, but plan to!

Will need to know density, parking requirements, can the building withstand building on top, lot size, future planning etc…. depending on how well the zoning and platting dept plays with others!

One of our biggest clients plans on building more up there and meeting another GC or two would certainly make sense.

Not sure where you're planning to take her but here are a few of the local favorites:-Pappas on Taylor Ave (they've opened up a few new locations too)-Kocos Pub on Harford Rd in Lauraville-Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market-Box Hill Pizzeria in Abingdon (about 45 minutes outside of Baltimore but worth the drive!)

Also, have a back-up plan in case the market turns and you can't sell for the price you anticipated.

A word of caution related to any kind of mortgage: if you get money from your parents and you plan to repay them, then it's not a gift.
