I'll give them a couple of days first, as there were 5 cop cars evicting the current 'residents' this morning who apparently almost burned the house down trying to use the fireplace (our next door neighbor called the cops).  

What better way than a period fireplace right?

It is an all brick ranch, beautiful fireplace, perfect groomed yard, totally taking care of.It is a one bedroom house, very shocked, no changing walls or anything.

It is  in a older  area, house build in 1925 and has a charming fire place and retro feel to it.

Is that a smoke stack for a fireplace?

The property is turnkey-key ( buying from a homeowner) and has some nice features like a patio and fireplace, and it's 300 sqft larger than the other 2BR in the area (1400 sqft- where other 2BRs are at 1000-1050).

I need some help though.Here are the high-level details:- 5br/4ba - 4100 square feet - indoor pool/sauna/gym etc - 3 fire places - on a lake - appraised at $750,000-800,000.- the house is nearing foreclosure, but can be purchased for $550,000 from owner (personal friend).- needs $50,000-100,000 in renovations.- I live in San Francisco, but family and all connections in San Diego.- I'm a real estate agent part of my family owned real estate office in San Diego.Questions:- I have no money to invest in the property, but would like to work with an investor to assist with the flip.

One of the units has the old parlor and dining room and there's fireplaces in both rooms one of which seems operational and like its been used recently.
