He is why we moved here to Clarksville Tennessee, we came for a christmas visit, and what I saw of the Real Estate market really gave me a much needed reason to live instead of scratching to survive- we decided to sell our farm we had a bad rent to own person in- he had breached the contract in every possible way, for about 3 years, but we were busy battling in court saving our daughters from a cult they 'just knew god wanted them in', so we did not have the time money or location to fight with him- when I finally called him to tell him out- he announced, "but I sold it!"

Do you have enough cash to survive 6 months without any rent?

Mine have been on my own home for three years and survived some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen this year. 

Small to midsized apartment buildings are great as well and they satisfy one of the basic needs of survival; shelter.Maybe your 'friend' is looking for a partner and has more experience than you?

Most other countries do not have these tax preferences and like it or not, they probably won't survive here forever either. 

Joel - I just started reading economist Harry Dent's book, 'The Demographic Cliff - How to Survive and Prosper During the Deflation of 2014-2019'I'll let you know my thoughts once I get thru it. 

you can certainly survive without it (i.e. - I wouldn't stall the process of getting started just because you don't have a website yet).And yes, I've got some examples of postcards I can send you, and I can point you in the right direction on the offer-making process too. 

Researched and contacted who survived him.The decendant is the only one on title.There is no personal representative for the estate.

If you are holding a property, that is a long term asset.Private money, from friend or someone you know, might be longer, but people die, things happen in life, so such financing is not really long term unless it is set over into an entity, like a trust, that survives life's surprises.Banks are institutions, they don't die, become incapacitated or bicker through a divorce.

Brad figure out your "burn through rate" meaning the monthly amount you need to survive and would no longer require a job.
