What if you told the tenant you would pay them XYZ if you could sell the property before foreclosure?

So, perhaps hiring a couple day laborers to help them move or even paying the 1st months rent on a storage unit would be better.

But don't let them know it.It amazes me how many of our members at MassRealEstate dot net have an Asset worth $300-500k Rent it for .5-1% of value and hardly pay attention to it, yet chase a tenth of a percent in CD rates;-)

Taking the loss now is preferable to paying out monthly for the privilege of being a landlord.

I've been taking RMDs each year as required, and to think that now I am allowed to empty the remainder of the account and move it into my personal IRA without paying taxes on the distribution.....well, that seems to generouse to be true from the IRS....

Two things are certain, 1) taxes are lower today than they've ever been in the past 80 years. 2) they are certain to be higher in the future.We should all be focused on paying the lowest “lifetime tax bill” not the “lowest tax bill this year”.By paying 20% and settling up my long-term capital gains is not a bad deal.

I recommend you start with duplexes as you should always have a paying tenant.

Rents increased about 5% per year, and when you take 5% on $3,800, that's almost a $200 per month increase for the year!

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

First question would be: what is the cost per kwh vs cost per gal of LPG?
