My father of 78 years old is declining slowly mentally, and I am going to begin helping him out manage his properties and organize his finances and properties.

I think everyone has these mental blocks.

hi so my tenant filed complaint about the place is unhealthy and now I got a letter from the health department saying I gotta correct the following list. so first complaint is smelly odor from fridge, they told me to fix the odor but my question is isnt it the tenant responsible for their fridge and not me?

If health issues were mentioned, they tried conveying that selling was preferable to simply losing any and all equity if the property was lost to the bank or county.

I like the go-getter mentality!

If she sells the property before that date, she would not qualify for the full exclusion unless she meets certain exceptions such as unforeseen circumstances like job loss, health issues, or other qualifying reasons outlined in IRS Publication 523.Regarding prorating the exclusion, unfortunately, there's no provision in the tax code for prorating the exclusion based on partial years of ownership or residence.

I'm going to be as lenient as possible I just worry that she could fall 1-2-3 months behind and it's just a really delicate situation to try to collect when she's having major health issues.  

You can tell by her cadence that she is an ESOL investor and I suspect she genuinely got taken by the "invest out of state" mentality.

So given that this month there were zero payments of any kind, I started the eviction process as soon as I legally could...This is taking a major toll on my already-tenuous health.  

Some lose their shirts, destroy their health, and even ruin relationships.
