@Laura Askew Aunt and Mom should simply put you on the deed as Joint Tennant.

The kind of problems you need to search for and that are not visible by simply visiting the property with your contractor. 

I understand the attachment, and going from an owner to a renter can feel like a step down, but a lot of times it is simply the wisest move for your  future financial position.

Shoot me a DM if you want more clarification on this - I plan on writing an article on this topic in the future, due to all the discussion I see around the topic.This isn't legal advice, but simply my own thoughts as an investor on the issue you are facing.

We entered contractor estimates into the BP property Fix and Flip analysis tool and offered the maximum price indicated in the analysis.

You do not want to enter this business alone and without an education.

You are probably ahead of most by simply taking action.

Except that a newbie with a $500k inheritance entering into what is likely the tippy toppy point of the RE market cycle is a dangerous thing.

Also, My state (and lease) allows me to enter with a 48 hour notice to show the property for sale or lease.What is a solution?

I wrote before about a property management company in the area that I simply couldn't get ahold of.
