However, if you inherit it through her estate, you receive a stepped-up basis to its fair market value at that time, reducing tax liability upon sale.Gifting it now has no immediate tax consequences unless its value exceeds the $18,000 annual gift tax exclusion (2024).

Seems like a pretty fair recommendation to me.

There's a bunch of them. 

It still shocks me how many agents aren't aware of things like the fair notice ordinance.  

Hello, My wife and I are new to Bigger Pockets and are fairly novice real estate investors in Northern Maryland.

I know it is strongly encouraged here for "credibility" reasons, but I personally think that is a bunch of bull. 

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

It depends on who you're hiring but that seems fairly standard.  

I just sat through a free webinar they put on and it was fairly informative for being free.

If I were you, I'd pass on this property and look for something else (and I suggest a 3 BR) under $80 that you can put a little rehab into, unless insurance pays your family member a bunch of money and they accept a much lower price.
