There could be a contested title (unknown heir, brother/sister disagree on selling the property, taxes due claims by state as a result of passing, IRS, so on,) at this point.It will likely take one of the heirs to get organized, start the process to become the personal representative/executor and petition the court.

Hey Brother, can I ask what you ended up investing in the BRRRR academy? 

Yes, you read that correctly, the appeal can go either way or stay the same, you lose if the taxes go up.My brother appealed taxes on a house in Philadelphia and got a 12% reduction using the guy below:Jerald GoldfineRE Tax Associates of Pennsylvania LLCGood luck.

Thank you very much brother!

It ain't closed till it's closed brother.

I've been doing land and cabins and I partnered with ex brother in law to get our gc license last year.

My husband and brother both have extensive backgrounds in construction, while I have experience in design, so I am very confident that with the updates we would make, the house could be worth over $900k.

yeah my parents and brother both got home insurance below $2000 that is close to that area, and they just renew it recently too, so I thought our estimate would be correct.... and the option period is already passed, if this doesn't seem to be good deal anymore, we can just back out of it and lose earnest money right ?

Thanks for this thread, I'm trying to help my sister and brother in law with a VA loan / property, and am trying to find info on a lender that offers VA rehab loans.  

My thought is do what you have to do brother...
