Jim,:welcome: to BP.As a returning member I would expect you can step back into your prior personality.Maybe you want to add s short version to your signature so people will be reminded of the old name.

They need to step up.

Now my grandmother is going to loose the house unless I step up and do something.

I have been stepping up to the plate and taking a lot of swings at properties that have been listed on the MLS but have come up empty so far.

Tell us in baby steps who they are if they are partners and what your take is when the owner/renter doesn't make the mortgage payment after the rehab the second year.

You might want to look into the forum for rehabbing in there you will have all the knowledge you need to know to walk you step by step in flipping a house!

And if you take that property could you post it in one of the forums so as we can get a step by step walk through of whats going?

The owner originally was seeking some form of financing, but was too deep, thus the opportunity to have a private investor step in, which would be me.

What are the steps you would recommend I take in these situations?

I would guess that your strong background in the industry will provide you with a solid and knowledgable foundation for this next step in your life.
