Every day I wake up to look at Google News and there is at least one article about Foreclosure, or Fixed Income Tenant can't stay where they have been from before the Covid or the Widow who has lived in the 2/1 house for 50 years cannot pay the increases in Property Tax, Home Owner's Insurance, Lights, Water and everything else.

Look up Medicare's IRMAA, Social Security tax rates (no idea if you will see this, but it will likely be around is some form), and the Widow's Tax Trap, which will cause the remaining member of a couple to pay so much more in taxes.My point here is that deferred income may seem nice now, but you will come to hate yourself when the taxes come due.Regards!

If you're going to rehab the room, I'd go for the vent operated by the light switch and the issues re sealing the widow go away.

- How do I lower the expectations of the owners children (they are adults) after the previous agent listed it at Zillow's full estimated price - despite the fact that nothing has been done to the house since their father/the widows husband died some years back.

Recently my friend's husband died unexpectedly in late 2020 leaving her as the sole trustee and beneficiary.Question:  Because the property was held as community property through a trust, does my friend (the widower) get a full step up in US/CA tax basis to fair market value as valued on the date of his death? 

Widows whose husbands had invested with the company since it was started in the 50s.

They have been somewhat manipulative w/me, being a widow, but they have plenty of family around (they took over the daycare from one of their own relatives) who should be able to help them. 

At the end of the days, I have leased to single moms, married couples with kids, retired widows, divorcee's with no kids, young couples.  

I had a similar situation with a friend, she was a widow lady, so I went to her son and clearly laid out what the open market would bring but what she would have to do in repairs to get it to that point. 

I will disagree with you on some of your responses whereas yes we take care of families etc but Dan Hueschele  I can quote scripture which backs up my beliefs to how we are to look out for one another family strangers  business widowers homeless the list is endless As I am writing these words a homeless man is sleeping on the sidewalk another one has a blanket wrapped around him walking the streets and yet another one is pushing his cart with his belongings a piece of card board atop which obviously is his shelter My point is if we can help others and we have the capacity Its not man who rewards us for being a good steward with what we've been blessed withBut  God will see to it we are rewarded accordinglyWishing you much success for you and family Words ended D
