Nothing new here.  This is what happens when voters continue to elect idiot socialists.

Ronald Reagan was right "

Sounds like you had a good learning experience and did a great job of sharing your thoughts and issues.  Your next project will be easier.  Good luck

@Nick Heil Enjoyed reading this.  Looks like you have a good niche and I know you will be successful.  And just think you didn't waste any money on a guru. 

@Caroline Bertoni

IMHO you are emotionally attached to this property and if you do not un-attach your emotions of it being "your childhood home" you are in for a hard ride.  Being a landlord is a business.  This is now an investment property and you need to treat it as such.  It's great that you have the house in your name and have a potential tenant.  You have possession and it's time to clean the apartment up and move on.  I'm sorry to hear about your Mother and hope you can resolve your issues but believe its or not she has shown you why many landlords give up too soon. 

I hope I haven't come on too harsh but you either need to be a business person or hire a management company, whichever will give you peace and will make you profitable.

Also, you are now Landlord and need to change your title.

Keep us posted and have a great day.

We're in the early stage of downsizing and after 25 years in the same house have plenty of "stuff" we don't need or want anymore.  The wife and I are having a contest to who can sell the most "stuff'. It's amazing what people will buy.  Since we are sitting at home and not much to do, it's an easy gig.  We've already sold enough for a nice beach trip and have plenty more to get rid of.  If you can ship it, someone will buy it. 

Ok Alex.. I'll take...intent for $100.  

@Dave Foster will be along shortly and explain the 1031 process

SCAM.... RUN Forrest RUN

Great to see this.  It's no surprise it was put together by 2 Republicans vs the crap NY landlords are be threatened with from democrats.  I hope it passes.

I have had a REO under contract since last April. The previous owner is still in the property and has no intentions of moving. He hasn't paid a mortgage payment for the last 5 plus years. The property is in GA, a LL friendly state. Some people know how to work the system. If I was younger I'd buy an occupied foreclosure but I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas anymore.
