Have you spoken to the owner yet? Does it require any rehab? Get a feel for what the owner needs and work off of that, they may just ask for Greyhound money, or want to split the existing equity with you. Just know what you're willing to pay going in. Obviously, you don't want to insult the owner with over 150K equity, but let them know that you are serious and the price is negotiable There's plenty of equity in that property to play with! I wish I had your problem! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

How is an owner with $150k in equity not selling it on his own? Are you sure of the value? No structural problems, impending highway, etc?
we are goiong to sell, after the s/s. The house need a lot of work but the value is in the land and will be sold as a teardown.
