Cleaning up 5 tons of garbage, crack pipes, heroine, and adult videos was a learning experience.

It's between $60-$80 per unit (with 2 adults in each), but it's still a cost.

As non-accredited, you might want to look at Groundfloor, Holdfolio or American Home Preservation.

Is there something called "adult protective services" in Texas?

We found out that they are fixing up the small den as a room to house the wife's adult daughter and her 2 children.

FYI, for anyone using Home Depot's vendor American Woodmark, these are RTA cabinets that already come assembled and are way overpriced, find a local or online vendor.

Only a stupid American would sell their CA RE.  

Though, the only caveat to that would be that it is far less expensive to build new structures than buy old ones, plus with building you get to ensure that it is of American quality, rather than the Ecuadorean quality.

---but i would suggest helping him learn the ropes and make the decisions  and be the mouthpiece for deals. while you or another adult would sign the docs.he can benefit by have the profits flow into a Coverdell or, if the kid has some earned income (from any w-2 or 1099 source) a self directed IRA.

In addition, you've got Colonial Homes, American Homes 4 Rent, and many others.
