Meeting Victor (next week it sounds like - just finding the best day) and will advise. 

It doesn't sound like that you're certain that you'll be able to turn it into a great one.I try to let the numbers decide for me.

My out of state investors I currently work with, our first few introductory calls we spoke about 20-30 minutes each, just educating them on our market - areas, traditions with PM, etc.If I can ever be of any assistance or a sounding board, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Fair warning, the reader for the Audible version sounds like the Windows speech robot.

The current situation sounds like she is promising two different people the house and wanting to collect payments from both which obviously isn't going to work.

Though I am sure there are many caveats and details that make it much more challenging than what people on the internet make it out to be.. sounds like you would agree with that.

It sounds like this company quoted you to install interior drain tiles, not sure what other foundation issues you might have. 

This sound silly, but I'm not sure I understand the basics of hard money. 

It sounds like you have a great plan and pursue the opportunity :) Help your uncle, the sweat equity to help yourself and keep the house in the family. 

Lucky for you, the greater Puget Sound market is only getting hotter as Seattle prices people out of the city, so if you sell now you'll likely make a pretty good profit.
