@Nathan Harden- agree about OH ....I went to school at Miami U and lived in columbus area for a few yrs  ...many friends that still live there ......I live in Seattle proper ( near  Magnusson Park ...also  own  2  properties in Mason County ......father in law lives on  close to 10 acres close to downtwon Medina so we will be dealing with  figuring out the  best thing to do with this  as he gets  older ( he is  83 now) ...stay in touch

Stability: Homeowners tend to stay in their homes longer than renters, which can create a more stable environment for families and children.

Unfortunately, for the time being, I do need to stay in New York.

You want to make sure they are at or below 5% to make sure they are able to stay solvent.

Then you can rent in Seattle for 1 year or 2 to make sure you want to be there for a while and decide what area you want to live in and eventually buy something there if you decide you will stay. 

Yes a stay in a potato is interesting but if there isn't much else to do around there, it will be a bit of a loser.Remote isn't always bad.

😳This is caused by a combination of buyers not being able to afford to buy with interest rates back up above 7%, and seller’s not wanting to budge on their sale price...a standoff.My guess is 2025 will likely be just like 2024 and 2023 if rates stay above 6%....

How do I help them stay in the house, while getting the deed in my name?

The relatives are vacating. only 1 tenant wants to stay through ownership change.

Stay tuned!
