The property is going to sell itself, you just need a design to maximize your profit, great contractor team and the will to pursue this with excellence.

The choices are:- Seed Lawn- Sod Lawn- Drought resist lanscapingMy broker is encouraging me to use sod for a quick sale, but the irrigation district has limited watering to two days a week.The neighborhood is about fifty years old without HOA restrictions.

I can appreciate your choice to invest out of your area.

The prior action might even have made things more difficult if a large amount of back payments were in a repayment plan that would likely require payment now.As for gaining control of his estate, you need to decide if it makes sense (if there is lots of equity remaining after payment of debts) and if you are the best choice for resolving this, especially if you have the financial resources and understanding to resolve.If you don't think you are up to these challenges, you won't have to be concerned with either repairing the house or the debt.

You just have to be able to evaluate the property the location, check your numbers for what you want to do with the property and make your own choice.
