I am currently going through a list of deliquent properties in the Stone Mountain, Buford, Loganville, and Snellville area.

You need to bring some sort of value to the table.

They are living in an illusion of material success fueled by a mountain of debt.

He can get a HELOC and use it for REI all without moving and subsidizing your living expenses.What are you bringing to the table and why would your uncle want to partner with you, other than you're his niece and he loves you?

Finding the deal through my contacts, making the deal happen through negotiation and bringing cash to the closing table.

Now if we left this deal we'd be leaving 11k on the table but we wouldn't have this property holding us back from future buys.

And in the meantime, he's pretty much paying all interest thanks to the standard amortization table. 

I also have a contact who started to invest in the mountain areas (ski ressorts Bankso).  

It is a very simple small home with living room, dining table area connected to a small galley kitchen with small laundry room at the end of the galley kitchen, 1 hallway closet and each 4 bedrooms have small closets.
