Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Finding a move-in-ready home that offers modern upgrades and country charm can be challenging—but this fully renovated 4-5 bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch is the perfect solution.

If we can't find a solution, I think she will be OK with me adding her property under my own account, and then me paying her out monthly.

If you approached them in a way that you had a solution to the eyesore in their neighborhood they would be very receptive to talk and perhaps share contact details about the home owners son if they have them.

Hopefully you can find a solution that works for you!

I wish I had another work around for you, but I actually stopped using my business CC all together just to avoid the PITA "hacks" they offered as solutions. 

That doesn't mean you have to file bankruptcy, but you do need to know there are better solutions than Subject To when in foreclosure.If you sign a deed in lieu, that means you will no longer own the property and will probably never be able to buy it.

What were your solutions, and how did they work out?

You may have to search a bit for the right contractor or engineer - sometimes I see one solution dominating in an area - "that is how we always do it" 

Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

But my solution in your case would be to frame out a dividing wall of 2x4s and either drywall or if the basement is prone to taking on water then I’d look for something waterproof as opposed to the drywall.
