The seller may have already shopped this case and concluded that he would spend much more on attorneys fees than he would be entitled to after a court weighs the equitable factors considered in dividing proceeds of a forced sale. 

Will update when concluded!

I thought about it and concluded that it would be better to borrow a lot of money and complete a project, since she can at least earn rental on a finished house.

@Kristian A morenoI’ve given this topic a lot of thought and personally, as someone who has both rented and owned while being a landlord, I have concluded that is is usually better to OWN. in our case, looking at the past 4 years, accounting for expenses, we would have been down/spent -$118,200 if we had continued to rent a two bedroom apt in our area, but Instead would be up +$109,324 if we sold our 3 bdrm townhouse tomorrow (after accounting for all expenses over last 4 years and the downpayment). i think if you can buy for less monthly than rent, it is a good bet to buy.Run the numbers and calculate how much you’d pay in rent over the next 5 years and then calculate how much you’d spend in mortgage + taxes and repairs over the next 5 years.

You’re nervous because you know that a couple of weeks of research does not make one knowledgeable or competent enough to successfully conclude a real estate wholesale transaction, let alone run a real estate wholesaling business.  

After lots and lots of research and sleepless nights over thinking my options, I've concluded that this is the best option for my situation.

In this case, you're going to be hiring a guy that gets the full $500, so he's going to get way more than he normally makes for doing the same job, and he's going to be happy to go over the appraisal with you and how he concluded what he did.

Full disclosure, I work in the DSCR/F&F lending space BUT I have transitioned from using conventional (even when I worked in this space) to using DSCR and F&F loans.Here are the reasons that I concluded:1.

It seems like the much more commonly discussed rules of thumb on BP and elsewhere would lead one to conclude that nothing makes sense in these markets, and yet... somebody owns all of that property!

What I've kind of concluded is that this area is relatively overexposed but there might be deals hiding in the shadows.
