To say the least he is not able to do a full rehab himself and all of his reserves go to medical bills.

Her mother used the property as collateral to pay for all medical bills and retirement home (Assisted living facility) fees while she was still living.

I just use a Quit Claim deed. 

Hello BP,I came across a property that is zoned as a Single Family Residential, but the seller claims that it's a Duplex since it's a 2 unit (1 up, 1 down).

As I understand it, with their name on the title, if we refinance in 5 years and remove them from the title, they would need to claim any capital gains on their taxes that year (correct me if I'm wrong, that's what I've gathered from CRA).

Medical office was virtually vacant, being mismanaged by the previous owner, then quit-claimed to current borrower after a bad business deal.

I’m suing in small claims.

What you claim to be unreasonable is actually the normal process that all Section 8 landlords participate in. 

That means the new property just has less depreciation available to claim.

Would I be able to claim a 10k loss on my taxes because the original purchase price was 150k?
