I'm curious and would like to learn what’s working right now in real-world situations.What strategies or systems have you put in place (or should have put in place) that actually work. 

I am new to the group, real estate investing in general, and trying to learn so that I can take my first step into real estate.

Wow, that’s a tough lesson, but one so many of us in real estate can relate to.

It's hard to give any recommendations without any specific questions/real numbers.

So, just give it your best self-help effort to find them, and then let the GAL do his or her job.As far as an ejectment lawsuit, the real question is, was the property legally abandoned?

Might be good to apply to real estate.  

My husband and I are approximately 6-12 months out from executing on our first real estate purchase.

I’m excited to get started on my real estate journey.

Gifting equity in a house may be more trouble than it is worth if you are not near the life-time exclusion1) Potentially having to get the property appraised everytime an equity is gifted2) Having a title company update the title every time3) Exemption of the gift tax return is normally for cash gifts below the annual gift tax exclusion, you may still need to file if you gift non-cash4) If there is partial ownership over several years, having to properly pro-rate certain items such as real estate taxes, mortgage interest and rental income if the property is a rentalBest of luck 

Additionally, involve a real estate attorney to ensure the transaction aligns with legal requirements and protects both parties’ interests.
