We are actually in the same boat-university town with really large student/faculty/postdoc population.

She will lose it.They are offering to pay off her $87,000 debt, they will remove the squatter, they will pour money into the property to ensure it sells for the highest value, and then they will give her an additional $240,000.She is getting $327,000 for a property that she is about ready to lose and it's probably affecting her mental stability and physical health.

I think you have a great mentality of stepping back and looking at it as a brand new deal.

Trying to get a mental sale in my head with this property I have linked to see what it would be like. 

Was told they wouldn’t take my money because no one will forcefully remove someone at his age and mental state.

I charge 10% of the monthly rent, and if I have to go to the property in person for a routine inspection or to oversee a large job or high ticket estimate, Its $25/hr + $0.50/mile driven.Hiring a professional manager is ideal if you dont have the patience, mental space, or availability to receieve random spur of the moment repair and emergency requests.

Still at it mate,Just walking now and not running.My knees can't take the running anymore and I have witnessed what the quiet life is like in Europe for a few years so that mentality is still engraved.Although, this amazing place still pulls a man's will for more hehe

Idea 6: Wait until your market is so insanely hot and has low inventory like San Francisco, oh and a "Not In My Backyard" mentality...

Quote from @April September: I don't drink coffee( never have ) and you suffer from mental illness ,called COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.My post was for the smart people who care about the truth.Enjoy your slavery and your stupidity and don't forget to pay your taxes, mortgage that you never had, " your" car registration and your prepaid utility bills.And of course, don't forget your vaccines. 

If you build the wealth when you can it will give you a lot more flexibility and options later in life as it’s a marathon not a sprint  Totally in fact it is better to eradicate this passive investing mentally into  active investment wealth building slowly ….
