What if your brother gets in a situation, maybe a car accident, and gets a judgement, do you know 1/2 your duplex is at risk? 

@Nick C. maybe you’re making a vain judgement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so let me further explain for anyone thinking I’m putting money over integrity...My intent is simply to defer these property taxes for me.

Using my “ own “ judgement is discrimination?

After paying off their judgements and debts they have about $100,000.

You  should find out if the tenant actually has some kind of interest to go after.You can hire a lawyer and pay him/her however much they ask.But after the judge makes their decision to put a judgement on the tenant for the amount of rent unpaid they actually dont even have to pay it.It will hit their credit score and that is it and as we all know people who rent dont really care about their credit.I also dont beleive you can evict a tenant in NY if they are currently paying.

I actually have had a similar complaint in my property in Everett, so you have to make judgement call.

Probably slim as well.Chances that a court would award a judgement to the tenants? 

Have you gotten a judgement for eviction?

Like an IRS lien, an outstanding judgement, etc. 

No judgements here, just the plain facts.Hope this helps you.
