Her health isn't all that good, and she's worried about her half of Grandma's estate going to my uncle instead of my Dad or me.

@Jeff, I didn't really think about that buyer agent mentality, I guess a little naive on my part.

The cultural mentality is too different (American dream, own house land picket fence etc).Nonetheless, I think it will become a very small but growing trend as the economy sour since it is an awesome way to save money for the tenant.

There appears to also be a slight (or starting) mental disorder in play, I suspect.

I mentally cursed out the tenant, then counted myself lucky the building didn't burn.

I see money taken away from me and used to pay for the medical care of elderly who did not plan for their own retirement health care.Now the government has gone so far as to tell me what size soft drink I can buy and force me to buy a private sector product and if I don't, I pay a penalty.You would think that a government this intrusive would at least protect it's International Borders, but they refuse to even do that.

The stress is taking a toll on my health and I am considering stop paying all mortgages.Once foreclosure happens I would consider filing chapter 7 bankruptcy to avoid any deficiency judgments (I live in NY).I have no consumer debt only the debt on the properties which is all in my name.I have a day job where I make approx $80k/year.
