The executor of the estate must have the courts written permission to sell the property and settle the debts of the estate including legal fees.The property should have been probated along with the other assets.If not,probate needs to begin again unless the home was inherited by an individual or group by way of a will or living trust.

The argument is should our neighborhoods nationwide be used for commercial hotel operations with the potential traffic and constant strangers coming in and out of the properties.The courts will begin ruling on these lawsuits soon and the appeals process could take a decade before the Supreme Court is forced to make a final decision.Here in Anaheim,the constant stream of loud Disneyland tourists coming in at all hours of the night waking up the neighbors was too much to have to deal with on a daily basis.300 STR home's are being forced to convert to long term or traditional rental properties for local working people.

no seller will ever sign a contract without proof of funds.You get a proof of funds letter from the hard money lender once you prove to them it's a good money making deal that you should be able to pay them back with in the near future.

Normally the sheriff forces both the people and their belongings onto the sidewalk at the same time,is this not so in your area? Why would they let them back into your property without police protection? Personally,I would be prepared in this situation with a rental moving truck from U-haul and an offer to take their crap to any new place they found to live or a storage unit rental in case they are going to be homeless till they get their act together.Pay for the first months rent on the storage unit and the truck.It is well worth the minor expenses compared to them destroying the interior of the home you were trying to save.I sure as hell wouldn't want to meet with them alone days later after kicking them to the curb with no place to go.That's a dangerous system they have there.

You need to attend local real estate investor club meetings.There you will learn about hard money investors who only care about the quality of the property,not your credit score.You will also learn how to find gap fund investors whom you will need to finance down payments and such.

Talk to local real estate agents.They probably have clients who are flipping homes in your area and may be willing to let you in on their operations in exchange for sweat equity.

I think if you fear punishment from the SEC you should call them directly and ask what you have to do to be compliant with the law.Don't give your entire trust to strangers on the internet when dealing with legal issues.You should also always have good lawyers on retainer to ask these questions because it's their job to keep you in business and out of trouble.

Buy your family the house they deserve now.People are making general assumptions that are never guaranteed to happen.Invest in your future today.Don't live in fear like so many people do their entire lives.They're not living,they barely exist.This is LA we're talking about.The population continues to grow quickly and that alone will help home values bounce back quickly if such an event ever occurred.

@Ariel Smith,may I ask who are your primary customers for 30 day rentals? Seems like too long for tourists and to short for tenants.
