Kamal H. How much should I ask for off of Rent?
24 September 2010 | 37 replies
nope, not a joke.everyone here has taken the stance that i haven't paid rent because i'm holding back or trying to rip someone off. i actually agree that the situation is long overdue and i'm totally down to pay rent. i have a bank account that i've dedicated and make monthly deposits to so that i have everything covered. i do feel it's not good business the relationship i have with landlord and BOTH of us have obviously let this go on too long. i was naive to post this in a landlord's forum :-) but i wanted to be considerate and understand things from his perspective also. believe me i understand now. thing is, you all have painted me out to be the scum of the earth and in so many words implied that i'm both an idiot, dishonest and a vindictive for not squaring things away. i'm sorry that you are upset that there are no late fees in place and that our rent agreement is a verbal one. my landlord hasn't been kicking and screaming for me to pay up--we both are kind of embarrassed for putting this off for so long. so you can skewer me and make me out to be the devil all you want; go ahead and get your rocks off if it turns you on. but as a tenant, at least i'm upfront with everything; i have all the money to pay and no intentions of taking advantage of anything. the situation i'm in with my landlord is pretty extreme and not ordinary. we have fallen WAY behind on the accounting but are now finally taking the steps to resolve the situation. talks about eviction are silly since it's never even been brought up between us. paying $100K in late fees is ludicrous since this isn't part of our agreement. you're wasting your time with "real world" examples of what you would do if some darn guy didn't pay you for so long... for all the people making crude comments about me, calling me a liar and a joke--it's unnecessary and ill informed. i'm not a demon tenant refusing to pay rent. i've never held my landlord hostage by holding back payment. what none of you can understand is the simple reality of the situation--both landlord and tenant fell far behind on finances; tenant has all funds and intention to pay which is a lot more than can be said for any of you with tenants that have purposefully screwed you overit's obvious how you all feel regarding asking for some $$ off rent for the last couple months--I get it and I've taken note. hey guys, this is an internet forum, it's easy for you to say smart *** remarks about me without much repercussions. so if it makes you feel better to bash on me and take out all your tenant frustrations on me then by all means go ahead. i don't owe you anything, and if i did i'd pay you in full
Dustin M. Question about Selling Land Contract for Deed

In the event of default you can make appropriate provisions so that you can take title to the MH and sell the property.Remember too that MHs depreciate like a rock, so the downpayment made by the buyer may not cover your investment risks by going on the note.

And perhaps afte rso many homes are boarded, the hood moves, and the neighborhood is gentrified, you now own a good portion of the block at rock bottom cheap prices - then bulldoze and maybe throw up some nice little cookie cutter homes.There will certianly be no shortage of people to emphasize the negatives of such a strategy and that is what made me think that someone owns and is profiting form these homes and if 99.9% of people steer clear, then there has to be some good deals out there.
