@Richard Dunlop Sir, im having a little bit of trouble understand what your saying, let me try to ask this. Ive heard some members around the form say they can edvict the old tenats because they bought the property, im not sure sure if they had cause to do so?is this fact?

Depends on the lease? Is it expired?, are they in compliance? are they month to month?

You CANNOT do ANYTHING that the previous owner could not do.

The leasehold interest that the tenant has in the property is still valid and MUST be honored by the new owner.

You can possibly schedule a long COE and then extend the deadline if one of the leases is expiring in 6 months or so.

@Bill Gulley

Referenced above a previous owner is signing away some of his rights to the use of his property by signing a lease with a tenant.

He CANNOT then sell those same rights to another party.  The New owner must honor the lease commitments of the previous owner.

In the example above @Randall George tried unsuccessfully to buy back the rights signed away by the previous owner.

I'm sure no expert on reverse mortgages but I think that works to the advantage of an older person.

I assisted (as a friend) a 83 yo person obtain a reverse mortgage and she was able to get $1497 per month.  If she had been 65 she would have only gotten about $650 per month on the same house because of her longer life expectancy.

I don't personally thing you timed the bottom right.

Where is the last three and one half years on your chart?

@Dustin Zentz I hope it goes well for you my friend. I can't imagine leaving Colorado for Detroit. Even if you are not in Detroit proper, the weather change would be more than I could stand. Have you lived in the area before? If not, pay it a visit in early Sept when the weather is great here in Colorado and then again in December. It's hard to beat our sunshine here.

WOW! I honestly never knew the weather was a selling point for Denver!

Skiing maybe! Summers beautiful! I used to vacation in Telluride & Durango!

I moved to S California for the weather 20 plus years ago.

I moved to Detroit for the opportunities 6 years ago. Now that was a change! but I could not have accomplished  what I've accomplished in any other market.

You guys are confused in thinking that having money has anything to do with anything - change the way you think :)

Good Luck!

I had less!
