I like to load up a few onto your phone and listen while driving or exercising.

Flipping is a total different ball game.

I am yet to contact my mortgage agent to get the specific, but I would like to get ahead of the ball on this one before i ask him tomorrow.

What may make a "low-ball" offer interesting is demonstrating the payments for 5 years vs. getting close to asking price, but having the proceeds sitting in a bank account earning 1% or less. 

If the contract isn't valid because you find there are other heirs, then  you have what you need (information) to get the ball rolling on the other heirs.

“Although I fully plan to follow through; if I were to go into default, you could begin by exercising your Assignment Of Rents and collect any rent payments in connection to the property.

I'm not really sure how offering a low ball offer would cause a multiple offer situation if everyone's offer is a blind one. 

To start the ball rolling, I like adding a unit/income stream where there wasn't one before (changing use, adding a unit to the attic/basement). 

This way you can talk with your father about your investment plan while he can see first hand to bless of on it, all while getting exercise. 

It is not a purchase agreement until you exercise the option so forget the escrow.
