Omar,if your brother owes more than the house is worth on the marketplace,you need to negotiate a short sale with the bank.After two long years,they are probably willing to listen to a short sale proposal.Your brothers credit is probably already destroyed so it's not gonna hurt him anymore than the pain he has already self inflicted on himself.If he refuses to deal with the bank himself,you need him put you on the title or give you power of attorney to handle the transaction yourself (whichever doesn't harm your personal credit).It honestly might be easier just to let the bank take it now and be done with it.Neither you nor he will get a penny of profit at this point.

She apparently did not realize that too much weight could harm the machine.The washer and dryer are both 15-20 years old.

So the problem can be perpetuated.This is harmful to the professionalism of the business.

I don't see any harm in asking your tenants to pay early, IF you give them some kind of incentive. 

You could make a fortune on a "0.5% rule" property or lose your behind on a "2% rule" property, and in fact I personally have done both.Bottom line is there are many factors to consider when analyzing a property ... any rule of thumb that tries to shortcut this process by leaving out these other important factors is likely to do more harm than good and therefore should be ignored IMO.

Your tenants in these working class neighborhoods would likely never do you harm, but it isn't hard for other people in the neighborhood to recognize its right around the first of the month and "Hey look, it's that landlord's car..."

I'm not sure why the agents are so lackadaisical on those props, they still get paid good money for the "work" required.There is never any harm in walking away if you don't like the work ethic or how you've been treated.

That's when getting a bad tenant can honestly cause major harm to a small scale landlord.

Children under age six and unborn children are at the greatest risk of harm from lead poisoning because their bodies and nervous systems are still developing.If the home you are considering buying on Land Contract was built before 1977 and you want to know if the house contains lead paint, you should contact your local Health Department to have the home tested.

There's no harm in contacting several local property management companies and interviewing them.
