Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Happy to help however I can!

Thanks Alison I have one that can help you, if you are still looking.

Time and practice will still teach you as you do deals but it will help you understand what things costs for the size of the property 

They could not be more excited to help. 

With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.
