Find a lawyer on Monday and get the ball rolling.

Both pursuits are absolutely necessary in combination if she is going to get anywhere in the ball park of ~$100K; which is a lofty "goal".

I'm excited that I got the ball rolling, now hoping it rolls and expands.

Ellis suggestions are excellent, but if you wait until after take over you are behind the eight ball.

Believe it or not, a lot of the older college dorms are built like this..they insulate fairly well...come to think of it, after i moved out of those dorms into a newer apartment, we would have competitions on if you could kick a soccer ball through the sheetrock, throw a baseball, etc.

However I did a lot of research (online, in stores and meeting with people) to get in the ball park.

In addition they were not zoned so basically the previous owner on the first floor controlled the temperature.

But with 10 units, you're looking at commercial, and that's a whole different ball game.

If they don't just make a low offer and get the ball rolling.

We bought two properties in the last 24 months that had a similar scenario.the first was a foreclosure that sat for 5 yrs with a number of low ball offers being refused.It was $58,000 owed.
