Benefits for me: I own the property in 5 years, free and clear, only having to pay off property taxes and making some repairs--by that time I'm predicting the neighborhood will have appreciated quite a bitBenefits for the seller & caretaker: outstanding tax debt is washed away, a huge weight is lifted off their shoulders, and they can continue living in the house for another minimum 5 years without having to pay a dimeI'm still quite the noob at the whole REI game, and it sounds really weird but it seems like a win-win for both of us.  

Shoulder season I'll stick with nightly.

Placing this burden on my shoulders and that of others like me may be too much to bear.The go zone, if done correctly, and in the right area is a very very very good investment, especially to those with passive income and heavy income tax liability over the last 5 years.

Would you shrug your shoulders?

@Eric Michaels Exactly my thoughts, I will need an experienced investor that had dealt with the worst rehabber in town and how he got away with it to come up with a good and solid joint venture, I might have some ideas in my past experiences when somebody does not pay, in this case, my risks are very low since I have no cash into the investment, but for sure I will be shouldering "the gaps" between investor payments and actual manpower/overhead payments, I would not expect the investor just to trust whatever I hand to him, so I should fine tune that also, and hopefully, I could post it here for everyone to use.

Fully loaded and on the back side between his shoulders has a machine gun.You do not mess with the police in this state.

Make friends, help others, learn from the community.Surely you can think of someone else to discuss this with than some agent who gives you a cold shoulder, right?  

In this scenario, since it seems the primary cause of concern rests on my shoulders, how would you fine folks present the deal?

The heirs are from out of state and just want to get the property off their shoulders and be done with it.

Now on the other hand if you are working him as a work horse and not actually closing on deals, well the folly may be on your shoulders.
