Got a call from the son of the deceased who is the administrator to the estate.Wondering if anyone is willing to comment on what their exit strategy would be, given this info:ARV: 325KOwe: 200KPayment: 12001 month in arrearsest repairs: $15KThe son seems very motivated to unload the house.My initial reaction (being that I don't really have any of my own capital to work with) would be to wholesale it.
