Even SE Fresno properties are going for 180k-200k at least which is wild considering that area is gangland.

Honeymoon phase LOLONe turn key rental though I would not go all hog wild on spending money on setting things up.. there is very little to protect and if its mid west type thing its not like us on the west coast were we wake up 10 years later and the properties has doubled or tripled in value.. those markets values are quite stable don't go up don't go down.. and as long as he is spending his cash cash flow.

I’m an industrial contractor (I’m pretty handy doing things), I’ve been a licensed realtor in Oregon (know my numbers pretty well), and I just pulled out a heloc on my primary residence so I’ve got some skin in the game ( well it’s in the process but the lady said should be fine just waiting to hear back from underwriter).

When you allowed this lady to move without paying the full option deposit, you signalled to her that you are a little flexible.Obviously, that was not your intention and I'm sure you were trying to be a very nice person. 

Look at doing a lady bird deed instead.The property will still be owned by your mother, but at her death it will be automatically transferred to you without probate and you will also keep the step up basis.

The lady and/or man made a bad decision on who to roommate with.

It belongs to an old lady who might be interested in selling it.

My cleaning lady was laughing at me the whole time.

The realtor mentioned the 2 houses further up the road have the same owners (three lots in a trust) one has sold and the other has an offer on it but the realtor doesn’t think the lady will find financing with her credit and income.

It varies wildly in St.
