William Collins,Welcome to the best Real Estate Forum on the web!!!

I bet you can learn a ton from him.

I would look up the actual tax assessor's value on the county web site.

I would bet 1000 cases of Lone Star longnecks that John Jackson knows the lease option laws and regs (executable contracts) from the idiot RE legislators in Austin TX better than any man alive or dead.Any BP poster care to wager?

I think your best bet might be an equity partner.

I bet while you're providing value to your subscribers you'll naturally find more ways to make money.

So, I'm happy to now have more information under my belt concerning that.In reading the posts, I recently decided that I'm not going to focus on biz cards or a web site, but will focus on attaining my lists and starting to market.

Sounds like you drive by there, next time you see them out there, just stop and ask, I'll bet those cleaning it out may have an interest in it as well, good luck!

I bet it's awesome though!

Your best bet is probably to include your mother in this process, ask your mom to refinance the property to buy her sister out with the agreement that she'll sell half to you, or include you on the loan and the deed and have a separate contract saying she has higher ownership interest until the loan is paid down to a certain amount so she is covered for her half.
