In October my wife and I are going to be buying my parents house in Milton Ontario.

A little bit of background, my parents and I are currently looking into obtaining a residential rental property.

The parent of one of the kids had the nerve to tell me he was going to take me to court over it because it was deducted from their deposit.

"I am too old", "I am too young", "I didn't do well in school, I can't learn anything", "my friends/SO/parents will say this is dumb, I shouldn't do it", or "I can't do it because it might not work out". 

I have decent handyman skills and have kept up properties for work as well as my parents few rentals.

Get rid of it and then make a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation so you don’t feel guilty : ) You want the areas that close to your foundations neat and sloping away from the foundation.

We got written confirmation that they understood that we 1) wouldn't be able to move in right away, 2) that we would rent it out in the meantime, and 3) that we would move in as soon as we can.We rented the house out and moved in with my parents so that they could help watch my son until he's ready for daycare.

I am 26 years of age, living with my parents in California's Central Valley.

I'm well aware of how careful one must be when renting to friends, or renting at all, and believe me, I have been planning with experienced adults about legal safeguards and the best way to handle the situation so there is zero grey area.Got a family friend who is a skilled realtor, just helped us get the house we're in now (I'm living with my parents while I'm saving money), and they sold our old house as well.

You meet these types, and they HATE tenants, they HATE the job, they're convinced that there's only one way to do it, Mommy and Daddy bought the duplex in 1951 and passed it on in the mid-eighties and they wish their parents had given them a stock portfolio instead.
