One worked for a company and got an esop sellout and got a big check and paid us off the other the family rescued it.everyone else lasted on average 6 months a few went a year or more but that was rare.. we would let them stay until they moved or stopped paying we never gave them a drop dead date.. did not need to.once you get into this end of it you will realize folks that are 3 days from losing their house are very poor credit risks and rental risks.. even though you let them start over their bad habits just surface again.Maybe thats why Oregon made it illegal to rescue and rent back I don't know.but talk about drama holly man..

On the surface, someone may suggest just using their overseas cash, but the tax implications are too great.

Both are critical to the decision making process.On the surface Scenario A far outweighs B based on ROI alone. $1300 rent on 40K investment is a no brainer compared to $2200 on 200K investment.

And not a bad deal on the surface.
