I am needing some advice about a potential deal and to see what options I might have.My aunt, by marriage, is trying to get rid of her mother's house, because she is now living in a nursing home. 

Look for single family homes with mother-in-law/Au-pair suites or attached apartment.

Hello let me start off by saying i do not own any real estate but been  educating myself on the subject for about 1 month now and would like to invest my mother owns 3 property  in the same neighborhood and there is a old man selling hes home in the same neighborhood as well for 10k cash i have the money to buy and plan on renting out for 500$ a month but the problem is i live in detroit meaning it is very ghetto, violence, and abandon burned houses etc...and the house needs minor repairs maby about 2-3k total should i buy this home or get a co-sighn of a loan with my mother for 50k and buy somewhere else?

The father died (mother already passed) and there are two sons that will inherit the property. 

A few in my neighborhood are in nursing homes, and the disposition of their homes are in question.I never thought much of it till my mother in law, who's 93 fell down in June.

So make friends.Offer to give the seller a pay-off bonus if you sell the property before the mortgage is due - offer a 10% bonus.Make the seller your partner (known as an Hybrid offer) offer to clean up the building - he gives you the deed and you split the profit in the future.Ask the seller to refinance - you take over the mortgage (subject to)  - he gets the cash and you get the building for nothing down.Offer to give him something he wants - a car - a truck - a plan ticket - those items are easy to financing - seller gets a truck and you get the house and the payments on the truck.Offer seller additional collateral - another house you have, or your mothers house - offer a co-signer.Appeal to the seller - I am new help me - I have good credit - I am trying to get started ---- I have a cosigner. 

However I DO own my mothers house in another county.

I believe the house was free and clear before the homeowner (his mother) died back in December.  

I am an RE broker in Indianapolis and I'm currently helping my mother and aunt sell a property they inherited that they want to get rid of ASAP.
