@Jared Rine Yes, she is the one who wants to keep the house, but she can't afford it. He wants to buy her out so he can get the house. Hard to be amicable in a divorce.  But here's the thing though - she got preapproved today for the refi. He wants to wait. She's telling him that she can refi now and then again in 6 months. What I want to know is, how likely is it that a bank would be willing to refi again in 6 months?

Hi,

I have a client who is going through a divorce. His ex wife lives in their marital home and wants to refinance the home right now because she can't afford the mortgage. He wants to wait 6 months so that he can buy her out. Just wondering if you guys think a bank would be willing to refi now and then again in 6 months? Because I don't think that idea tracks. They should just wait 6 months so he can buy her out. Right? Or am I just being overzealous for my client? Any thoughts? I'm not a mortgage broker, and I'm a fairly new to real estate so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks @Ben Y.! I'm on UpWork right now and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. 

Hi Everyone! I've been listening to many BP podcasts, and I've been hearing a lot of people say that a virtual assistant would help me tremendously. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to get one or any tips and tricks you could share regarding your experience with one. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance!

@Eddie Memphis Thanks

Thanks for the advice @Kim Meredith Hampton and @Michele Fischer. Can you elaborate more on cash for keys? How much do you usually offer? When do you make this offer? By the way, yes it is a month to month agreement. 

Hi Everyone,

My brothers and I own a triplex in Richmond, CA. In one of the units, the tenant has been habitually late on the rent. This month, she has not paid and it's already the 26th of the month. I have not been able to go up to the property to leave her a 3-day notice to pay yet. Nevertheless, I would like to evict this tenant and move one of my brothers in. He has a girlfriend who is currently expecting and this location would be much easier on his commute. Can anyone give me advice on how to proceed? I'm fairly new to managing property so any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Andrew Domingues, and I'm so excited to be on Bigger Pockets. I'm from Millbrae, CA, which is in the San Francisco Bay Area. I bought a triplex in Richmond, CA with my two brothers about two years ago. It was supposed to be a buy-and-hold but one thing led to another (meaning first the kitchen came down, then the walls until it became a skeleton) and now I'm knee deep in a year-and-a-half long project of fixing one of the units up. We hope to be generating income from all three units by the start of next year. Not only am I an investor but, thanks to my fiance, I'm also a newly licensed real estate agent. Right now, I work as a double decker bus driver in San Francisco so I can pay the bills, but I'm gearing up to just bite the bullet and dive into becoming an agent full time. My goal is to build a real estate empire that I can pass down to my son and future unborn children. I'd like to become a wholesaler, work on building a property management team, and start my own brokerage. I'm hoping Bigger Pockets can get me a few steps closer to this reality. Anyway. Thanks to everyone reading this post. I'd love to get to know local Bigger Pockets members and any suggestions on what REIA to join or meetups to attend would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
