Tenants were placed by our management company that we have terminated our agreement with.While the house is clean and in good shape, they did not move any of their possessions prior to eviction and have stated they would like them, so we have to retain them for 30 days.

And unless someone is really committed to caring for an above ground pool it can become a swamp in no time flat.Should you tend to agree to allowing the tenant to install a pool I would contract for pool maintenance as the landlord so you retain maintenance control and then amend her lease or rental agreement to recapture the increased cost for both the insurance and the pool service contract.

I already have retained the services of two phenomenal architects one of them has been inducted in the hall of fame in Arizona.

We have retained an attorney and are waiting for him to gather more information.  

Thinking oceanfront will always retain it’s value even though it ain’t cheap! 

Originally posted by anthony c:Hmmmm, I will try a couple of small area banks and discuss a portfolio business loan vs an outright mortgage.Will post my resultsA portfolio loan is still a mortgage (or deed of trust) in many cases...the "portfolio" part only means that the loan is funded and retained in-house as opposed to being sold on the secondary market.Because the bank is lending their own money and is not concerned with resale of the note, they can make the underwriting rules -- which generally means they will allow (and oftentimes REQUIRE) the borrower to be a business entity.

@Tristan McGowanYou should speak with a notaire who practices probate as things are a little different in Québec than the Rest of Canada  or North America for that matter (with possible exception being Louisiana who may have retained the same portions of the Napoleonic legal system).

For the most part it retains something of a small town feel and has a particular southern charm about it.

Most lawyers in my area will ask for a retainer around $5,000 for each of those steps.

Same would hold for an attorney you hire, they can't take a retainer from you to defend you in court and then keep it and refuse to defend you in court because they just don't feel like it.
