I was broke enough that I couldn't afford rent at my apartment, but fortunately my landlord didn't notice, thanks in part or in whole due to some substance abuse issues.Anyways, when visiting my mom in the neighborhood where I grew up, I had noticed this construction van at a house on our street.

I a new investor  who self-manages my property and need some advice.Currently, when there are plumbing issues, I have a plumbing company come to the house and I have to meet them there.

Can't get housing?

Overall, it's going to be up to the state and local governments to enact changes that will affect the local housing markets.

If it does go to probate, hopefully your brothers and you can amicably go the informal route vs formal (I've worked with families in both when buying properties out of probate and informal is FAR easier).Since there's no debt on the house, maybe you could sell with financing or maybe you could even buy out your brothers with financing -- that way you maintain ownership and just pay them a monthly amount.

I happen to be looking for gap funders myself for a number of my house flip projects in Houston, TX and finding gap funders or any kind of private money involves a lot of networking and putting myself out there to meet potential lenders.

Until the house goes through the foreclosure process, I am making monthly interest payments.

It makes for great customer service and then they put a name to the voice and they think twice about messing up the house. 

When I was renting (mostly houses), one of the first things I did when moving in was re-key the locks, then provide the landlord with a copy of the key.

I found houses that had not been well kept up.
