Couple returns from trip to discover their fully paid house has been mistakenly foreclosedMel and Harriet (last names withheld) from Coconut Creek, Florida returned home after a trip up to New York and saw something alarming – their locks had been changed, the power had been turned off, and items were missing.

Unfortunately rent to own also doesn't work within my religious beliefs (it includes two transactions, namely sale and rental, concerning one item at the same time and that isn't allowed either).

Not storing boxes, files, and personal personal stuff, but power tools, hurricane panels for the duplex, extra lumber, lawn mower, ladders etc...are those "personal" items or items that helps maintain the property and thus not personal?

Should I provide an explanation of how I arrived at the offer # like an itemized breakdown of my costs?

That way it's not an ongoing expense item to repair.

Inevitably, discussions of LLCs (and the constellation of issues related to them) reinforce the need to work with professionals: attorneys and CPAs especially.I also hungrily read the deal analyses because I'm here to learn from the BP sages how to go about building my portfolio when the time comes.The deal analyses don't include a line item for Professional Services.

@Mark LangdonConsider giving them a choice of items that will improve the value of the property.

You have twice the number of big ticket items; roofs, furnaces, etc)InsuranceMgmt Fee - as a %Vacancy- as a %. 8% represents 1 vacant month/unit/year

I ended up having a couple self imposed delays on things like materials, colors, finish items that could have been avoided by better up-front planning.

They would have been an expense-able item for his taxes - so you can see also them if you ask him to verify employment history and income requirements with tax returns.I wouldn't want to take all the money upfront as doing so may well serve to create a de-facto agreement to let him stay no matter what.
