I'm going to ask my aunt to give me an opportunity to buy her house from her estate before it hits the market
Why do you want to ask your aunt this?
If I don't get my foot in the door of this opportunity, I might lose it forever.
I do not blame you. If that is a house that you really want, I think that you should ask her right away so that no one else gets the opportunity to buy it out from under you.
Okay, I'm on it. I already got her email.
I'm glad, good luck! I hope you get the house.
