My wife's mother is looking to move to Tamborine Mountain so we may be buying some real estate there. 

David Allen - let's say your mother asked you to sell her car for her.

@Jack TouI would call a local commercial real estate broker (if your mother knows one personally, it may be helpful) or local REIA and ask for a recommended list of attorneys who handle commercial real estate and leasing.Who was the attorney who drafted or notarized the existing lease?

If the person hasn't paid the mortgage for long enough for it to go to foreclosure (6-24 mo), there are so many fees the original mortgage has ballooned in cost.

As a result, one of my partners arranged for a 4% loan from his mother for the full purchase price, which we used to make an all cash offer.  

Besides that, at least 3 more adults are living there - the husband's 2 adult brother and mother.

I am very grateful that my mother put all her houses in a trust, especially after my sister went through 3 divorces and was married to number 4 when she passed. 

Hello, BP - I'm looking for a tax/legal professional in the Raleigh area to discuss my upcoming real estate gifting situation.My mother-in-law (non us citizen) is about to gift my wife (dual citizen) and I a fairly valuable property in a foreign country.

(My mother-in-law is a lawyer, but not specifically a real estate lawyer.

Both my mother and grandmother were in Real Estate before me and something that I will always take away from them if you give the tenant an inch, they will take a yard.
