@Jennifer Turner I heard and appreciated your empathy in reading this in your post: "We know they're hard working and would like to continue working with them rather than move toward foreclosure, but we know they're in over their heads if we continue under the current terms of the mortgage and don't want to set them up for failure."

It would be wise to post the name of the franchise you are considering.

Setting up an LLC may allow for deductible expenses, and investing in municipal bonds could provide tax-free interest.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
