So, when I was a teen, twin my aunties opened a store. 

My aunt is looking to be bought out so that she can take her money and go.

With all this discussion of working on holidays, I remember my hubby's Uncle Bob and Auntie Linda. 

We purchased for $178k with a full mortgage amount of $200k for the improvements and the units are as follows: upstairs:  4 bedroom 1 bath @ $1600/mdownstairs : (2) 2 bedroom units @ $1200/mThe closing cost are being paid for by the seller and we beleive it will most likely appraise for somewhere around $230kMy girlfriend's aunt is a property manager that owns a decent size company and has been in the game for over three decades so we have a good source of information as well as a valuable resource for checking on background, credit score, and gut level opinions on tenant applicability. 

Yes, you are correct that you need a designated "on island" agent which can be either a licensed PM or your favorite aunty or uncle that lives here. 

So opportunity but problem as I am paying bills/taxes on a property I don't own and am not sure how to claim ownership of.However, my aunt is in Maryland, My uncle is in Pennsylvania and My mother and I are in Hawaii.Is there a way for the three of them to transfer the property to me without us taking an expensive trip to Philadelphia?

@Brandon Turner @Joshua Dorkin Also, how could he tap into the equity of the property his aunt is giving him, while mediating the risk of losing his aunt's residence?

I think my aunt is gettin ríp off .

My aunt is also a Realtor in Chicago... she was actually a top 100 Realtor for Century 21 nation wide..

But Auntie Hattie ... the grammar and spelling features on my laptop and, especially, my phone misspell words like color and organization {<- look did it again} all the time!
