I can try an in person visit, I suppose, yes. 

This led me to have an extreme ambition of trying to give my future family the things I didn't get.

I am trying to find a real estate attorney in Macoupin County, IL as my attorney is about 3 hours away and told me that it will much cheaper to go with a local attorney.

Here is how we usually handle situations like this: if a tenant communicates with us, we usually try to work something out with the tenant. 

So, there is no argument for using margin account to try meet/beat REI returns because it would just nurf your WS returns down all the more, expanding the divide between the 2. 

That is the best option if you are truly trying to help a family member.you cannot get control of the mortgage, you can do sub2 but you are not in control, the bank could call it due if they see the property transfers title.The other way is for you to buy it from them at market rate, then rent it back to them at market rate.

Wasn't trying to put an add out for promotion.

You’re not trying to take her home. 

I see it somewhat regular of people who got into a "deal" with HML, to do a Brrr and now it's half done reno and there desperately trying to sell it as-is to bail them out.
