Consult an accountant...but assuming the house is in a trust if the estate is smaller than 5 mil...he shouldn't face any inheritance tax issues.

@Jon Klaus  I was listening to a retirement podcast recently that gave me a mental slap in the face.

First the person I talked to on the phone was a guy that you could barely understand what he was saying.

I know he understands I don't intend this as a slap in the face, but amidst their struggles I can't help but feel guilty for trying to achieve more...

Always be watchful with condo and townhouse rentals with Hoas I'm facing this issue right now myself.

Someone said I have to provide a bare minimum, which may mean that I need to pay for a hotel?

I have real estate holdings in both markets: a commercial bare land speculation (in my SDIRA), second set of commercial lots (location of a food truck business I co-own), a SFH, and a fourplex.

This post has made me feel better about the thought of facing an eviction.

RE is a personal, face to face business.Not saying be a RE agent, but it's an option, frankly the key to success is knowing and meeting people, if you know people you'll have a great advantage starting out.No one here can really tell you which way to go is best for you.

You should also find investors locally and network with them face-to-face.
