There is actually a special form that the owner and the tenant must fill out in order for the tenant to be billed instead of the owner.I do not pay my tenants water/sewer bill.

If it's good, evict like anyone else, they are not entitled to special treatment.OTOH, agree and keep a govt. tenant.

Why would it be any different than getting cashed out then making the same mortgage on an unrelated property to someone else (Which I can't imagine would be a scenario with any special tax benefits)?

You can buy as you described.Since this is your father, you can use a quit-claim or a special warranty deed, but, you need to modify these standard deeds to reflect the interest conveyed.

Heck, if it works out, don't forget who the bird dog was ;-)

There really is no right "special secret" of what to say when you call but just be genuine, take action, keep at it, then adapt as needed.Best of luck!

the private lender i listed before specialize in inheritance loans .They fund mortgages to trust & estate Administrators (Will or No Will), Executors, Trustees .

You need to enforce your lease, otherwise, next time it will be "a bird flew into the sliding glass door" or "the toilet lid slipped and crashed down too hard."

Seller lost and paid, investor paid plenty for interference with a contract and paid even more when I mailed a copy of the verdict to every investor in town, even the bird dogs and wholesalers put him on their he doesn't exist list.

Congrats; That should make this Thanksgiving even more special.
