So trust in their realtor dictates the same will be true, though there may be a little more wiggle room based on emotion and need)After the first 45-60 days they will be looking at their first reduction, but still hopeful.  

Better to stay within the numbers that make sense rather than get emotional & buy way too high just because you wanted to win, lol.

And don't get emotional...that will kill you. 

In the beginning I used to buy emotionally and it took a couple of deals to figure out how to not buy emotionally.

I work for a temporary agency and had this said to me and my first thought was.... it is a REAL job.

@Annette Ammarell you may have too much emotion invested in this one.....If you are new to investing, I will say walk away from that money pit.  

Many investors mail to absentee owners as these don't have an emotional attachment to the property like owner occupants. 

Tell your emotions to take a chill pill, and they can get all scared again when you decide to actually do the buying yourself.

This is one of the reasons so much miscommunication happens in the world today.In my version, there are 4 main personality languages. 1)Emotional action taker (35% of population)2)Relationship builder (35% of population)3)Data gatherer (15% of population)4) Competitor (15% of population)Each one has their positives and negatives, their own quirks and their own language.You could literally say, "good morning," to them and each personality would hear something different.

Hi @Bill Tyler No legal advice at all, and your emotional attachment may be completely different than my thoughts :) You could contact the other 15 heirs and see if they all wanted to pay $200 and do something together with the land (sell/invest/build/make a park for neighborhood kids/give to the local Lions club)Keeping in mind that with 15 of you even at $18000 the total is $1200 each if you sold at market rates.
