Hey @Wesley Mitchell ,Sounds like you're indirectly pursuing the  BRRRR method; acquire a property, improve it, then refinance and get your money back (in this case it'd be 75% of the ARV after improvements) This would help you keep the house as well as attaining funds for your next investment.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/...

They both insist that there are creative ways to structure this deal so that me and my mother can LEGALLY , and secured by CONRACT, be able to collect the net proceeds, and split it 50/50 as her and I agreed from the start.One of the proposed arrangements I researched and sought legal consul for, and am fairly certain would in fact still be an act of fraud.A broker brought in an investor who proposed the idea of purchasing the Mortgage Note, and giving us the difference, secured of course in advance by a contract where we would agree to forfeit the Security(house) once the note was purchased.
