My rich cousin taught me this rule since I was 13 years old, "You don't pay, to get paid".

However, this isn't the wild wild west anymore where real estate scams happens to your cousin brother's friend on a weekly basis. 

I’ve connected with some realtors through my cousin, even started taking some agent classes at KW just to meet some people and network more, also tried connecting with a local broker I know.

When I asked her if she'd seen anything like that before she replied, "yeah my cousin lives like this now". 

For example, a soldier changing duty station could do a short sale without any hardship whatsoever.

These particular youngsters - have seen many of their cousins, siblings or other relatives, fall into the pitfall of BAD Decisions and simply blow this money quickly away.

My Mom's family grew up with two generations of the local family get togethers and knowing all the extended cousins, so did my wife's family.

Hello all,To give a brief backstory- My cousins aunt had just passed away (a few months ago) and she lived in a house with her husband who was the owner, he had passed away about 20 years ago but never created an estate and never had any children.

However, I am the primary owner.Current Situation: My aunt’s daughter (my cousin) lives in the house rent-free.
