As straining as the conversation was, we were talking about the worst-case scenario; as much as they needed to be addressed, the likelihood of me defaulting on a 0% interest loan with very manageable payments was almost slim to none.

If the desired outcome is losing an important relationship or straining one, and allowing oneself to vent and feel better for a few minutes, that’s not a very business forward approach.

And since you live next door, if there are times you'd like the space for visitors or vacant for some privacy, you have control over that.My guests are people here for hospital rotations, grad school, relocating, etc and I've become friends with several of them.  

W/D would be relocated here.My reasoning is that while three bedrooms may be more popular, more occupants/strain the septic system, and not having to descend into a basement to do laundry may attract better tenants who really don't need the third bedroom.I realize three bedrooms typically bring more rent, but with a 3 bed 1 bath having the laundry in the basement, I'm not seeing it attracting the best tenants.I'm at the top of the rent range for this home/neighborhood ($795 central Illinois) and am faced with trying to attract better long term tenants, or continuing to rent to short term people who are using it as a stepping stone.I want to make it a better value for potential tenants so that rent increases are justified.

@Bryan Otteson thank you for the response. technically he self manages and  my job would be mostly light maintain. he would be paying salary form gross rents. he wants to do less. for health care we can go to the exchange or transfer to my wifes employer. tell me more about the 401k inside the Scorp. i was going to open a roth. i also plan to own rentals for cashflow in retirement.my wife and i still hashing it out. i work long hours now and rotate days and nights and every other weekend. so this will give me more family time.basically my income would double when i start with him.the property is hold in trust so it will pass to an only son who lives out of state. chances are i continue with what i'm doing as i will be the 'apprentice' who knows the properties health and other info. the son may decide to sell or continue to collect cash flow. at this point I'm not sure. thanks again for the insight!

Will they flex to conform to the imperfections of the existing floor or do they strain at the seams and pop?

One section rotates in right after the other.

i would think should get major bankruptcies soon, luxury condo high rise developments will crash etc. so from that side, real estate should see some major shifts. what some can sense is a NEW NORMAL is forming. self driving cars, zoom happy hours, docusign etc. yes, many people dont work in tech, but those who work in office settings.. this tech enablement has been present for a while and in the future the mantra will be.. well we can have half the size office we had, save some costs and drive up profits.. at least if i had a company like Goldman sachs w 5000 ppl tower, id just cancel half my lease, have 2500 rotate WFH and office and drive down major costs..

., hosts a group formed from BP members which rotates sites and meeting nights.

It forces people to stay organized.Chores - we had a cleaning schedule where we would rotate each week what had to be done.
