Now, I'm going to do my due diligence first to make sure there is not anything seriously wrong with the house (my father is an appraiser so that should help) then i'm going to call the bank directly and speak to the REO line and I am going to offer $9,850.

My father in law lives there and tells me about all the new construction going on.

But discuss any higher education plans with your father.

I’m not investor savvy (yet), but I refuse to be outworked in whatever mission I’m involved in.Background:I am a husband and father of two beautiful children.

I did luck out, my father came to the rescue!!

My father and I, we are of the opinion that when you’re doing a roof, even when we’re only doing a roof coating, all dry rot should be repaired no matter what.

So recently my father passed away and my mom, brother and me inherited the house that we were living in.

My father was very proud! 

At that point I started a taxi company with my father, did that for a while until I pulled the plug due to conflict with family/business and overall safety concerns.

They are not the most trustworthy financially but her father sogned something stating he would cover rent if they had any problems and he has made good on this once so far.This place will be stunning once I'm done, I figure all I need are two families willing to spend bigger money to rent a beautiful place or one family willing to one day buy it for what I've got into it.I have LEARNED SOOOO MUCH HERE, and not only that I have been building an amazing network of laborers who help and teach me so so so much, it's been one of the largest learning experiences of my life!!
