Got a call from the tenants mother on Tuesday morning - she said her son (my tenant) was shot nine times this past Saturday & is in intensive care, surgeries, etc. 

I’m a 28 year old married man with a 3 week old son.

A piece of advise if he lays hands on you or your son immediately go to court and see if it qualifies for a peace order or similar. 

A month post closing, the son of the buyer (mother) has written a "legal" request to have us buy him a new refrigerator.  

Here is my favorite (among several others, just as hysterical) part of this case:"...Petitioner’s testimony that neither he nor his son used his personal bedroom,living room, or kitchen for personal reasons strains credibility.

My daughter and son-in-law have settled down in Abilene.

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.

I would agree, on 8% being the norm, with several lenders falling in the 7's on occasion.

I have a son 2 years younger than your son… How did you go about moving your son along towards financial independence?  

The brother and his son had been living in the house, free of charge, for years, and were gaming the system.
