If it is, your property may not appraise or sell, as it would simply become another active listing in your neighborhood.

I assume you’re simply trying to get a regular investor loan in your own name for 50% of the value to pay off the other heir?

Then at the end of the month/quarter you just have to do the math to deduct their usage from the total and bill it how you want.Best option for me going forward is to simply not look at properties that aren't individually metered already haha

If you're making a big move like this it would be wise to make sure you live as close as possible to where you plan to invest.Beyond that, simply being open to the idea that you may not enjoy living there and acting accordingly would be my best advice.

Obviously, based on my relationship with the company, I'm not unbiased, but most people here on BiggerPockets know that I value my reputation above all, and when I agreed to join FTF as an advisor a couple years ago, it was because I was very impressed not only with their business model and underwriting guidelines, but with the CEO (Matt Rodak) and the rest of the management team.I have no requirement to invest my own money on the FTF platform; I do that simply because I like the platform, like the deals that are being funded and find the returns to be nearly as good as the private lending I do, but without all the overhead. 

Some attorneys this question was very normal, had a system and prepared, others weren't and said "I need to ask the attorney"I am simply asking; "I am inquiring about property XX if it is still active in foreclosure"Is this safe to ask?

I wanted to know if anyone has had sucess, or has heard of anyone who has been successful by partnering with Charter Financial to buy discounted notes, lottery winnings, etc?

Hiring a new PM is not going to fix this I'm afraid, because it's simply a math problem.

For these owners, the future of office space looks so grim that the best option is to simply give up. 

I’ll budge and “grudgingly” give up to 155 to let them win but I’m also completely okay with losing this deal.
