Also, I'm pretty certain owning my own business is the only way I will be happy - I'll never be satisfied if I'm not sitting at the table when the 'big' decisions steering a company direction are made. 

But it doesn't sound as if these people will catch up, if only the mother works and they're used to sitting on the couch. 

So I would say they will get you into the ballpark but you might be sitting in the nosebleed section. 

The lots mean very little to them and they have just been sitting, paying taxes and mowing fees for the last 20-30 years.

The first building is 18,000 ft.² the second building is 8,000 ft.² both buildings sit on an 8 acre lot.

I'm looking for a non owner occupied insurance carrier to cover the 5 bed room 3 bath home I am remodeling in cottonwood AZit is set up as a single family dwelling with a addition for a mother in law aptthe city will not allow me yet to be classified as a duplex but for all intensive purposes it is not sub metered sq footage 2864 with arcadia area in middle of homethe purchase was 70k owe about 46k on the property  and it sits across the street from the medical centerall new plumbing, electrical, drywall and heating/cooling unitstill under construction, will need about 30k to complete

However her 600k is sitting in a Chinese bank in Beijing.

Tell me what you would do with it.Or, is a property in poor area of a tertiary market doomed to sit forever.  

Otherwise you will be sitting there trying to figure out if something is a good deal while your competition us putting it under contract.

@Candace Postell I encourage you to sit down and really work up an exhaustive list of what you need, and then come up with a REALISTIC estimate of what those things will cost.
