I'm happy to take some time to explain if you're not sure what those are. 

Has anyone explained to you what's going to happen and when?

This will hopefully unveil any objections she may have with that option up front; one most likely being her age.

I'm happy to report that explaining that to the city has helped as well, if the inspector can understand who they are dealing with and trust that the issue will be resolved then there is a reasonable leeway afforded.

So I was wonder if anyone has any books that they can recommend that explains and breaks down how to really evaluate an investment property? 

My dad has paid the house down in full and doesnt owe anything on it, he wouldnt be able to re-finance as his credit is less than a 400 so that isnt the best option but selling to me would be best.It works out as I am willing to hold it as it is a previous family home and use it as an investment property (rented out to relatives currently living there) but also use the equity to open up a HELOC for flipping homes etc but not sure if I should get a mortgage and then open up a HELOC, or just a HELOC which I will explain below.I was told it would be smarter for me to open a HELOC (put my name on the title for at least one day) and give him the needed money ($150,000) and pay it down monthly (much less than a mortgage), we plan on paying it off in less than 5 years, a HELOC term we've been looking at is 10 years at a 4% locked interest rate.

Sorry for the long post guys but I've done a lot of research and putting a lot of work into getting started but it seems that everybody talks about every path there is in real estate but nobody really seems to explain the actual process and how it all ties in together.

Qualitatively, I have little concern about how these homes look or how eco-friendly they are.Bill, If you've personally seen these homes in Denver turn out to be disasters then I would have to remain objective and pursue another investment method.They seem to save money and time.

He explained to me that once someone writes a withdrawal of an offer, the contract is then terminated and no longer exist.  

After selling couple of rehabbed properties I have consistently come across the following issues :During the inspection period I always see following issues come up.Electric panel issuesHVAC issuesMost of the times I don't replace Electrical panel and / or HVAC. my question is how do I go about making sure that I don't run into any big objections from the inspector.
