My mother-in-law is managing the state and doing some projects to get the house in better shape before going to the market.My husband and I would like to purchase the home as an investment property (rental); my mother-in-law stated that she would "discount" her part of the purchase, which means we would only pay 66% of the original price.I am trying to think of alternatives to borrowing the money.

Wish management would be paid better.

My plan for property is to rent after rehab which the same realtor has a property management company we’ve discussed using. 

Hey @Dennis Gallof - I'm a broker, investor, and property manager in NYC to landlords like yourself.You're right, its very common for basements/cellars to be rented out (legally or not).

Our efficient project management ensured the updates were completed swiftly and within budget.

Not sure if they cover  Toledo but avoid Monument Property Management!

I am close to the owner so I can discuss options.These are details and some rough numbers: - Location: Vienna , VA - No mortgage on house (free and clear)- Purchased year: Around 1980- Purchased price: around $50,000- Type: 3 bed - 2 1/2 bath single family- Market price: $920K (not appraised yet but numbers from Zillow)- Market rent : $3,400/mo (from BP Rent estimator)- Insurance $2,000 /yr- Taxes $9,300 /yr- Management $3,260/yr (I do not want to manage )- Repairs: TBDThe numbers do not work with conventional financing (20% down, 7% interest, 30 yr) so I want to think of creative financing ways.

If you're considering Tampa, it's a fantastic market with plenty of opportunities and a good balance of tourist traffic and manageable regulations.
