What Im ultimately looking to achieve is to cash flow at least $1000 a month with an adjustment of 4% each year for cost of living until I die or call on the note of 100k I invested.

All this together with exponential growth of US credit market debt, at all time highs, with rising Inflation and stagnating wages, will ultimately lead to a depression.If you want to discuss more about it, I will be glad to discuss it in this forum!

I have a headache pier and beam foundation SF home that ultimately required a $30k complete redo of the foundation and flooring in the beginning of April.  

My ultimate aspiration is to use the funds I make from practicing to invest in real estate and achieve financial freedom and thus practice pro bono for people in need.

Ultimately whatever lives we had before we all want it back.

And ultimately, getting deals is going to be the best way to acquire new investors, but you certainly want to be prepared first.

You will have to provide the lender a signed lease prior to closing to show you will be earning this money.So ultimately it seems like a better situation for your parents to just put the property on the market, take the money and run.  

They ultimately dropped the case and the place is in limbo.

I ask my clients: Do you really want to work on properties or do you want to invest to reach economic and ultimately financial independence?

If you get the house cleaned up and get new renters in that would ultimately solve your problem for good.
