Finally, send that prospective tenant a gift basket for enlightening you.

The greatest gift you could give to someone in the "inner city" is a home that looks like it should be in the suburbs.

I do not get any money from TurboTenant, nor am I an owner or investor in the company.They have a referral program where they will send me a $25 home depot gift card for a referral - you don't have to use the referral codeStessaStessa is a website that I use to track all my expenses.It is another free site and you can pull reportsYou even can upload receipts.Roofstock recently purchased StessaCompletely freeZillow Rental ManagerI use this to collect rent.Free for the landlordTenant only pays a fee if they use a credit card to pay rent.

However once you perfect it - it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

I purchased a family home in CA from several family members (one of whom is my mother who gifted me her share of equity).

Made my day.In the end I lost $500 but $120 got returned to my credit card from the thief, and the store manager gifted me $300 in tools, and my girlfriend borrowed my truck and filled the tank for me ($100).

My little brother is Autistic and they would like to ensure he’s taken care of to their best ability.We live in Los Angeles County.What is the best option for us as they intend to Gift me the property ?

Lenders will only let you go up so high on the loan to value.All of the tax deferred capital gains, depreciation, etc. you just keep exchanging or use up the depreciation schedule and when you pass away your heirs inherit the property in a stepped up basis at the new value and all of that back money owed is wiped out.It's a way of giving Uncle Sam  a parting gift.   

It's an unfortunate fact spelled out here:(https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/disparities/low-ses/index.htm)Ben also goes above and beyond any other property owner I've heard of in terms catering to his residents in regards to birthday presents, academic incentives, free vacations, mothers' day gifts, Christmas gifts, etc as retention program.

And to MOST of all, do what I love.Because if you do not love what you do, you won't succeed, Why would you have the gift of life, and not try to embrace it?
