Since the house was built in 1978, the bigger problem is asbestos - the drywall joint compound, sheet vinyl flooring, acoustic ceiling exture, and other things are likely to be made with it, so it is really an asbestos job, and that is highly regulated.

Basically I just signed up for the Joint Venture program with Richard Roop who leans towards owner financing using creative strategies and a long term hold approach.

Is there anything I need to have the remaining tenants sign in changing the lease as they are all responsible jointly and severally?

Anybody that might be opposed to this form of big brother intervention recently passed (regardless if you do business and or live in Massachusetts) can voice their opinion in the following ways:- Contact the House Ways and Means @ http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/h34.htm- Contact the Joint Committee on Financial Services @ http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/j11.htmAs I see it both as a lending professional & homeowner, we are at a cross-roads---we can either "Speak up" or "forever hold our peace" (and potentially surrender a piece of our freedom and rights of choice).

Or you set up a joint venture (JV) where you take the point initially as the prospect called you.

The provision would raise $2 billion in additional taxes over the next decade, according to an estimate by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.Industry trade groups including the National Association of Realtors, the National Association of Home Builders and the Mortgage Brokers Association, which want homeowners to be protected from taxes on forgiven debt, support the measure.

The last time I glanced at an invoice, our cost was $6 and change for single, and $9+- for joint accounts.

I'm happily earning 15% on my money.I'm considering a joint venture opportunity on a L/O of a duplex with another member I meet at a club meeting.A short sale I signed up last summer and the bank accepted was purchased as a rental unit by a club member.I'm putting together a joint venture opportunity with two other investors I met at the club meetings to market for property and sell wholesale in a specific area.

Why would you take an inferior return on a rental property when you could simply invest that money in a safe CD.

I was told by an attorney that the joint venture contract is priceless.
