And either buy them courthouse steps or when they hit as OREO  although not sure in your area but our area the foreclosures are down about 70 to 80%... mortgage defaults in our area is all time low.. but we don't have much sub prime and we have no hoody ghetto type areas.. pretty stable.. worse markets the homes sell for 200k or more.. 

How would selling it (by any method) help you invest better?

I guess the next step is to find a quality real estate broker in Chattanooga.

Hi @Bianca Mattera ,Congrats on taking the first step, which is just asking for help! 

I was hoping to have comps by now since I am using the BRRRR method so I can let them know to ask for a showing or not. 

It sounds like you have Joint Tenancy, which means that the surviving spouse will receive a stepped up basis on 1/2 of the property (the part inherited from the deceased spouse). 

To me, Houston is just a small step down from Atlanta :-) so it's not worth the hassle.  

I learned about the Step up in Basis tax rule, LTV ratios, and the value of real estate. 

Even if you don't yet have the ability to flip houses or buy rentals, you still need to go through as many of the same steps as possible, so you can learn.You can do all this without quiting your main job too.

It looks like someone stepped on it or dropped something on it.
