Did I mention they've profited over $150/month this year on their new E-bay business? 

I E I provide the cash so they can bid.. 

@Bobby E.  

I have read a couple of e-books now and a variety of blogs about this subject. 

I've made inquiries with the city building permit department about the requirements and restrictions, e-mailed several egress window companies as a start but don't know where else to look.  

Send me and e-mail for referrals.

This is good enough for schedule e filing. 

@Randy E. great point about the # of higher end car on the road versus those that are considered the more affordable option.

Schedule E has no limit on the amount of property tax you can pay.  ;-)It MIGHT put some overhead pressure on 800k and above properties, since they will hit the 10k property tax limit, but I doubt it.  

As @Tom Gimer mentioned, it sounds like the property Did go through probate, and into you and your brother’s name.....this is why the county records would show you as the owners(since you are) and the tax bill would have whatever address was listed in the probate files.Whi,e you have no personal liability for the loan, the foreclosure suit Will by law include the current owner’s as defendants.
