Who "bought" the house was Judy & Ivan Johnson who is listed in the deed as Preferred Housing Solutions LLC.  

The mark of a successful investor is being able to manage those problems in stride and work out solutions that are profitable for everyone. 

What are they saying would be the best solution for them?

I am thinking a flip is going to be the most attainable solution to start but I don't know what financing I could get when I have the down payment.

I wish you the best in finding a good solution. 

In that situation would need all the land.Pharmacies pay the most for corners but minimum is about 1.5 acres and usually the size is about 2 acres with a 10,000 to 12,000 sq ft building.One solution might be for the purchaser to move her off of the land and get her a small house close by that she would own outright.You could also maybe do mixed use and have the pharmacy below but have her unit upstairs with an elevator or a chainey chair for the stairs in back.If the house is sitting upfront maybe the house could be moved to the back of the lot with  a separate road made and a buffer from the business upfront.Rite Aid, Walgreens, and CVS will only put stores within a certain radius of their other locations.

Most sellers (including family) have a specific problem that they need to have solved and understanding what that problem is helps you determine what the solution is to correcting the problem.

If I find myself attracting the wrong sorts of people, I don't look outward for solutions. 

I would probably say it's not in your best interests to go the bureaucratic route, it will be long and tormenting and you may not even get the solution you're seeking.  

Would like to hear from other investors with problems so we can discuss solutions and to see if one firm has more than its share of problems, etc.
