There are no emails or voice recordings that are unprofessional so not sure what you're trying to imply.  

What's to stop someone from listing a 4-br and saying "our comfortable 4-br has 6 other couches in it in case not everyone wants to share a bed", thus implying that it's ok if you bring 20 people in, wink wink.

This implies rates may not come down significantly anytime soon.  

The new owner is in default for not paying the mortgage to me.)Although there wasn't an explicit document, is it implied that the new owner is assuming the management agreement?

Thanks James.In my specific case, are you suggesting that I raise the rent for these new tenants as soon as escrow closes or are you implying something else?

Although most post seem to implicate or imply that intent may lean towards a fraud or rip off, that is not the case here.

If we are talking in terms of a more severe "doomsday" type of scenario as implied by talks of guns and rice and beans, I personally wouldn't care to be buying gold bars at any price - i'd keep my cash.

Dave, like I implied, it's illegal for an instiitutional trustee or custodian to act this way, at least for those who do so professionally, these are funds in trust, like an escrow fund and you may not comingle your funds with funds in trust.

That still wouldn't touch the implied tax roll dues taking the 17k and spreading it evenly into up to 3 years, even with someone buying the tax cert and charging interest, these numbers are too high for a zero property value asset.

I was able to locate this, which may imply an exemption under the FONCE statute:On June 25, 2009, Governor Bredesen signed into law legislation changing the types of income that can be classified as passive income for purposes of determining whether a limited liability company, limited partnership or registered limited liability partnership can qualify as a FONCE (“family-owned non-corporate entity”) and therefore be exempt from the Tennessee F&E tax.If you own or have a financial interest in a FONCE, such as a limited liability company, limited partnership or registered limited liability partnership, this change in the law may cause the Company to become subject to the F&E tax unless changes are made in the way the Company is organized.To qualify as a FONCE for the F&E tax exemption, your Company must receive substantially all of its income from passive sources.
