my partner got the call last week and they said her ex-husband hit a kid with his car and they want money for the medical bills because they couldn't go to the cops because they were wanted criminals so they'll take the money or shoot.

Our tenants are primarily from the medical school community and don't cook too much.  

What about moving into the rental for a period of time (making it your primary residence) and then selling to take capital gains exemption for your primary residence?

Paul,If you weren't aware, you can get exempt from rent control in Oakland by owner-occupying a duplex or triplex for 2 years.

And whether or not it's something to consider seeing as how I'm already taking advantage of exemption benefits from military.

I knew my target market was the University of Maryland Medical Center as I observed people in scrubs wandering their way to the block adjacent to the block where I bought.

I was referring to a monthly charge to allow pets. have to be careful though if they claim it is a comfort or medical pet, most states wont allow you to charge more for a pet in that case.

I file my taxes every year under the tax exemption, do i need to prepare any documents ? 

I'm not currently aware if the exemption period has expired or not, and I'm not sure that the seller would know either.  

My husband and I have law school and medical school debt that excludes us from traditional lenders.
