Think maybe loaning him money is helping him avoid the real medicine that he needs to take.If I loan on the commercial we might get into that SAFE nonsense.

Some things I do or have seen on the forum so far:Remove storm doors.Advertise rentals on craigslistRemove or lock outside spigots.Submeter or RUBS the utilities you pay yourself.Put in low flow showerheads and put 2 liter soda bottle in toilet tank.Convert laundry room to pay.Convert all bulbs to fluorescent.Replace grass with groundcover, gravel, flowers, etc.Buy your own pressure washer - $85 at WalMart.Buy post 1989 buildings (lead).Advertise & Rent entire duplex to one family (I did this).Have tenant rents ACH or have them deposit to your account.PLEASE keep items to one sentence and list each separately!!!

I use Buildium to collect rents directly from tenants via ACH.

Lastly you can act like a 12 year old when you are corrected or you can take your medicine like an adult.

Think about the assembly line, transportation, medicine and vaccines, the Internet, etc -- these are all massive innovation drivers that created millions of jobs and generated huge economic booms in this country for the past 100 years.Innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum...innovation is kick-started through education and research.

I have to admit that I follow a similar idea but just within the context of selling it for the most I can within an exclusive market of serious cash buyers who can close very quickly with absolutely no belly aching.

Actually, a Ch 7 makes more sense if she did not own the property and has not yet taken title to it.  

If you pay via ACH, you get 15.5%.

I would almost steer clear of offering internet unless you are getting a great deal on it, it is going to be more of a head ache than a benefit.

The extra cash flow is not worth the hassle and head aches.
