If you play your cards right, this could be a great way to build equity and add value to the property.

Hey Isadore, Send the tenant a notice of non-payment and have the tenant go down to their local public housing authority office, HRA, or Department of Social Service office and provide them with the notice.

.- Ask the attorney if your aunt & dad need to authorize lien, or just aunt.2) Understanding your options to force payoff of the lien.- Ask attorney how you can enforce collecting on the lien when you need to.3) Getting full control of the property, while allowing your aunt to keep her ownership.- Have attorney draw up a contract to do this.Suggest you offer your dad some cash, now or in the near future, to motivate him to transfer his ownership to you.It may not work out, but you will learn a lot either way!

I highly recommend you play with that tool to start getting an understanding of what things you can do to positively affect your credit! 

Ask if their handyman is in-house--which I've seen turn into a "charge up to the owner authorization threshold for every single visit".

Play the long game and hold onto that equity.
