I told him I would probably put $90K down, and in in few years, if he doesn't get around to investing the rest, just pay off the mortgage.My dad and my brother is not much into real estate investing, though my dad owned a commercial property for over 50 years, and resisted all my entreaties to buy more.

The problem is heat rises and then banks once it meets resistance so it causes a lot of damage to the trusses.

@Maugno Mora I really like Pex, it is easy to install is resistant to breaking from freezing.

She called me because the picture window in her living room spontaneously exploded and the owner (also the failed flipper) blamed her, well come to find out this genius cut a big hole in a load bearing exterior wall for this window but had neglected to put a header in so when a big heavy snow came, the pressure was too much for the window and it followed the path of least resistance. this happened 2 consecutive winters. a home inspector would not have caught that because it is hidden behind sheetrock but if the work had been permitted, it never would fly. my point is that an inspector can only inspect what they can see and that many flippers either have no clue what they are doing, are trying to cut corners, or don't care. there ARE some good and responsible flippers but when I know a house has been flipped, I am always suspicious.

.$300,000 tax free would be way too good to resist then.  

US Bank 20 year fixed rate just over 5% This seems with where we are at now, it would be the least path of resistance option to take on.

It's also an oxidizer, so if you were to vent near a flame, it could cause that flame to be a lot more energetic.I'd post on your local Facebook group and look for anyone interested in scrap metal. 

That should help the price of your dirt increase over time.For tenants, I like to look for things like services, restaurants or entertainment that are more 'internet resistant'.

Couldn't resist - already on third cup of coffee. 

If the building were to go up in flames, I would just take the cash and walk away.
