@Joseph Bass, unfortunately, you may be out of luck. In Tennessee (I'm a TN-licensed lawyer -- in Chattanooga, actually), when a life estate (as @Russell Brazil aptly noted) is granted via deed or will to a descendant, that individual has the right to occupy the property until he or she dies. Not much can be done, I'm afraid. I'm sorry to be a bearer of bad news.

Jason, I'm so proud of you and Caitlyn! I'm new to the game, as well, looking for our first property.

Hey Folks,

I'm new to BP after listening to the BP Podcast, and the amount of available information is overwhelming. Where's a good place to start?

I'm an attorney in Chattanooga, Tennessee, currently am searching for my first buy-and-hold property, and am looking to educate myself as much as possible.

Thank you in advance for any direction you may be able to provide.
