They owe 68k, it does need some work, I’m willing to put in the work to bring the value up if I can get it back on the gift, it should be worth about 200k, the house next door sold for 225k.How does gift of equity work?

if bigger pockets partnered with hospitable, does that mean we can sign up for free?

That will give you an up-close-and-personal look and give you insight into how to (and perhaps how not to) do deals.

The closing credit was not taxable.
