We own a very nice duplex and live in one side ourselves.  We have never had any problems with bedbugs before but recently our tenant of 6 month has complained of having bedbugs.  He wants us to pay the extermination fees.  I don't feel like this is our obligation as it seems from my research that he must have brought them in himself.  Previous renters had no problem with this and the place was thoroughly cleaned before he came, plus he has been there 6 months.  Think he would have noticed this problem right away if they were there.  What do you all think?  Who is financially responsible for this problem?

that is what we suggested.   He is learning about investing and rehabbing during school breaks right  now but would like to get his own property to flip next summer if possible but hard money lending will most likely be out of the question.  He is hoping to have $2000 saved by next summer.  Not much to go on but a place to start.

My son is currently a college student learning about investing and flipping houses with our family.  He currently has no debt but will if he continues with college.  He wants to develop good credit in order to buy his first flip. He currently has 2 credit cards with little balance.  Should he get more credit cards or not to improve credit?  Other suggestions for building his credit would be appreciated.    He works low paying jobs currently.  Also want to know how to best fund college.  Thanks.
