She has refused to counter any amounts offered and were on path for a settlement conference and then hearing trial on the property.I’d like a document in hand stipulating an as is value I can just offer to buy her out on.

Attend (or better yet, start one) local investing meetups and REIA, and mix in a national conference once a year.5.
