It's had some tenant drama, one eviction, and plenty of unexpected expenses.

It's not a common thing that people go through when a tornado hits your house unexpectantly and having to do a total renovation.

Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

@Barrie HasselbalchYou could reach out to a tax attorney but with it being a decade ago I think he is going to be out of luck getting it reversedYou could have him execute a power of attorney to have someone act on his behalf while incarcerated and they could try and chase down the funds

In truth you don't have a lot of power over when and if she pays, but you can and should use the power you have.We have this clause in our agreement and we talk about it before they move in so that they are clear who the primary is and what that means.
