I'm sure he'll regret his mistake for the rest of his life, rightly so.If it was "just" a DUI charge, not vehicular manslaughter, charge 5 years ago with no recurrences, I wouldn't give it much thought.If this guy has 3+ years out or more, has good rental history, acceptable credit, stable employment, I would probably rent to him-- so long as your usual rental criteria doesn't exclude all felons.

I'm okay with long posts as long as you can guarantee ramblings!

What about the "delayed financing rule", apparently a Fannie Mae program that allows you to borrow on properties you have owned 6 months or less as long as you paid cash?

As long as you have the positive mindset, positive things will happen!

As long as you take another step you're in the right direction.Good luck.

Older community type apartments with seniors the tenants stay forever but you can't raise the rent as much because they are on very strict incomes.There is an art to extracting the most rent while keeping turnover as low as possible and quality tenants as long as possible.

Germain Act of 1982, it is apparent that we can put the property into a land trust with both of us as beneficiaries without violating the due-on-sale clause (as long as the original owner is a beneficiary).

I just figured if I could get someone to pay off the land for me, why not :) but as long as I get lot rent I would keep renting it out if I cashflowed close to $200 a month for .20 acres of land.Oh and the land is worth IMO 25-27k.

Also keep in mind that as long as there are people and properties there will be a good deal to be made and some times the best deal is the deal not made.

Well, if she hasn't paid her mortgage for 3 years, then she's gotten a lot of her 50-60K out of it already.To be honest, 3 years is too long a time for me to feel really bad.
