The parents I know would double-up their kids in an upstairs bedroom before putting a pre-teen in a basement bedroom two floors down.In my part of Michigan (metro Detroit), a bedroom in the basement with an egress window isn't considered in the house's overall square footage.

In my case its the parents forcing their over 25 year old daughter to help out sometimes.

I tried to get a principle reduction for my parents through Citi.

College rentals are a lucrative business model. renting by the room with parents on the lease to guarantee rent and cost to fix any damage.

She was 3-4 years old and ate paint chips for Weeks or even months -bad parenting?

My brother has been doing a great job managing the property and will also do a great job managing the new properties when they close, and for what its worth he finishes his real estate license next month (I can make no such claim, yet :-)I would like to form a parent company, an s-corp for ordinary income activities like fix and flip.

& I'd guess rents will fall as houses get sold.Anne, my parents live in NH and it seems things are better there than on the west coast right now.

For me, it's kinda like becoming a parent.

My parents were active real estate investors (my mother a former realtor, my father going over to full time land lording after retirement).

My parents were told the home was theirs for years but without the title being transferred is there anyway to prove the gift???
