I have two siblings who also had sons in 1992 and one of them said "so, if you won the lottery and paid off the mortgage, they wouldn't even have to pay the gift tax, would they?"  

Dear Sir may I address you as My Son:Many people who win the lottery lose it in three years.

I make anywhere from 25k to 100+k (felt like hitting the lottery) I target to profit 30k per property. 

(Fred Mertz).Hopefully she has the money and it's not one of those "I can make the grey sky blue, I can make it rain whenever I want it to" type of stories to buy time.Hopefully she doe not try to give you a partial payment, (having never had the full amount, or having spent some of the cash on lottery tickets and cigarettes the night before).Understand what rights to evict you might screw up if you take a partial payment.Good Luck!

I know rents will go up (as will property tax) and in the long-term values will always grow, but I look at the situation and sort of think I'd be crazy to not take advantage of the 20-25+ year's worth of current annual cash flow I could liquidate now, use some of that to reach my family's personal living situation goals, and reallocate the rest over the next few years either back into real estate or take advantage of some of the big dips in stock price we've already seen for companies like Amazon.I guess it's the same question as - If you win the lottery, do you take the lump sum or the monthly installments? 

New home builders in 2004-2005 would have these home communities that would have 300 lots and they would have lotteries.

Or you could get creative and buy lottery tickets in the Metaverse ...jk ;)Selling your current home or not is such a personal decision I'm not really sure how to answer.

If you are hoping for that one perfect deal you might as well go buy some lottery tickets.

Let's say you have a set of lottery balls numbered 1-100.

If you aren’t and you don’t, you could put down a sizeable downpayment and tell them, you’ll agree to an addendum giving them the property back so it’s like they hit the lottery.
