Aquila Oliveira worst eviction process
30 April 2016 | 18 replies
February we started with the eviction process since she didn't move nor pay febs rent. fast forward to end of march.my in-laws came back from Florida and they were staying with us. there was an issue with the some rotten food of hers in the fridge that was thrown out and she decided it would be OK to start thrashing the place throwing things and finally assaulting my mother in law. the cops was called and she got charged with elderly abuse and spent 2 nights in jail.my mother in law was able to get a restraining order against her for a year and she is not allowed into the house because that is where my mother inlaw is staying. her belongings are still there.we went to court this past Tuesday for the eviction and the judge was not there. while speaking with the mediator, she is alleging that she cant find a place and wants 60 days in order to find something. my lawyer said "what makes you think you can live there when, you never paid, you assaulted someone living there and you still have not found a place to live?'

Kim Annello Help with deal analysis: SFH vs. Duplex
29 March 2015 | 8 replies
It is a little farther from the new office/retail development than property one, but in a slightly quieter neighborhood.The sale price is $230,000 ($115k per side -- apparently duplexes are separately deeded here in Texas so I'll have two mortgages)Anticipated rent $2200 (one side allegedly already rented at $1200/mo, I'm being conservative by assuming $1000/mo for the other side)Taxes $260/moInsurance $167/moRepair reserve $125/moProperty mgmt $240/mo (same as above, I will handle myself)Debt service (P&I) $946/moCash flow: $460/mo (same caveat for vacancy allowance)My initial thought is to go for the duplex because its more cash flow and slightly less risk that you would be without both tenants at once.
