Hi Shannon, He was living with his father who is elderly but his name was not on any of the transaction or escrow paper work.Also I spoke with another real estate attorney he mentioned, since this sale was a done by one agent (I had to use the sellers agent ) The realtor has failed to do her Fiduciary Duty in protecting the rights of the sellers' which in this case my wife and I.

While I can't speak for Cleveland, here in Kansas City the $15,000 neighborhoods just have vacant lots with a few houses here and there, there are no jobs in the area, no amenities in the area, the schools are horrible  . . . while that $15,000 could be spent on a down payment a few miles a way in South Kansas City, Raytown, Independence on a $50,000 to $80,000 house and you may not get the same returns on paper as the $`15,000 house, but you have less back end expenses, tenants who have jobs and the desire to feed their kids good food and send their kids to better schools and more occupied houses . . .less vacant lots, so less breakins and theft.Move up on that price range to  an $80,000 to $120,000 neighborhood and you can do even better.
