A mother inherited her departed sons house got into a legal situation with the son's troublesome friends who had potentially forged a lease and also trashed the property.

We have been stuck a few times with back taxes for a couple we took back DIL but fortunately resold them for more $ & have done well regardless.The one that hurt was for a good friends son.It was for $12,000 @ 12% & I trusted this friend of ours but unfortunately he died suddenly two years into the 10 yr payback & just as quickly the son stopped paying.

It is still owned by the son, not a company.

It wasn't my son, I know that much.

US rallied and Linus Pauling in Palo Alto created a vaccine..

bought Milpitas 1977 for 80k.. would have been negative at the time to keep it.. now its worth about 750 and would be paid for and rents probably 3 to 4k a month. sold my palo Alto house I paid 180k for in 1983  same thing I could not fathom how I could handle 300 a month negative.. and how it would go up anymore than what I sold for which was 450k.. in 89.. now its worth over 2 mil and would be paid for rent 6 to 7k a monthand I could go on to 3 others.. its a long game.

So far it has not been an issue except once with my son.  

That was when they began their war to get me and my son out of the apartment.

theSF bay area like many areas has very diverse values based on school systems.. etc.. take East Palo Alto and the city of Palo Alto values in E PA even though its literally just across the 101 freeway was historically black.
