So the the value of the house is $260/SF but the seller is trying to sell it at S$296/SF because of the furniture.

Is the property just a regular-style house or something you can build an experience around?  

I have a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom house.

I don’t think the tiny house would get you there.

The biggest things for our energy bills are: how many ac units are on the house and do you have a hot tub.

House needs some Interior Cosmetic Work, Wood Fence Repairs and some Plumbing Work.I want to turn and run, but I recently heard where there is a Problem, there is Opportunity.I thought this might be an interesting Case Study.Thanks for the Ideas.If they owe $180k on a $210k property and its a year+ behind then they probably owe taxes and other bills as well.

If so, you may be able to wholesale the property to someone (perhaps even someone in one of those $400,000 houses) in such a way that you and your grandmother come out whole.

Second, if you want a nice house in a nice part of town, you will have to pay for it, so will likely need to raise your purchase price.Third, if you want to go off-market, just know you are trading a lot of time for the possibility of maybe finding a deal.  

In our area, the housing authority does annual inspections to (mostly making sure the landlord is keeping up the units) review the tenant and the landlord.
