I do hope a MTR 3rd party data company comes along.

Best part is, my money continues to grow even while I have a loan out due to something called a non-direct recognition loan.

Please don't make this about party politics because then nothing will get done. 

I just sold a spec, I built a house for my self last year and finished a spec this year, I bough the lots at tax sale, and I was the GC, HVAC, Tile, Flooring, Cabinet, Painter, and Misc. guy, made a nice profit, but the crappy part is taxes, its like a flip, short term gains. good luck!

Everything needs to be reasonable and payment/cost needs to be similar to what you would see in an arms-length transaction with an unrelated party. 

Basically, like a 3rd party to hold the funds. ( You can not mix your personal funds with your retirement funds.) 

If they want to put limits on future contacts that is different than passing a law that changes a contract between 2 consenting, competent parties that was legal when entered into.When rent control is first passed and applied to existing leases, the government is changing the contract.  

I'm sure you've seen some of these news reports with underpinning where they dug too much at one time and the wall collapsed and damaged a party wall damaging two houses. 

In my experience people that act like this generally are doing something shady with regards to how they are framing or selling the deal to the seller themselves and are trying to keep all parties in their separate silos. 

Bottomline is having a good talk with all parties openly discussing how to handle this in a way all parties can be happy and lessen surprises.Hope it turns into a wonderful opportunity to get better acquainted with your in-laws.
